Wow. Hope Outdoor Gallery was a super popular place to visit on this first day of the new year. Everyone was enjoying the sunny day and taking some photos of the artwork, along with the obligatory selfies. 🙂

Fredericksburg Marktplatz
Fredericksburg gets a little crazy about Christmas. The streets of downtown are all decorated with lights, and the Marktplatz (Market Square) has a Christmas Tree, a Christmas Pyramid, Ice Skating, and other fun activities. I recommend the drive from Austin if you are looking for some Christmas Cheer.
Georgetown Holiday Lights
The Christmas lights are up in the downtown Georgetown Square. The weather was perfect tonight, so everyone was walking around with their families taking pictures. This is a great location for that.
Texas Book Festival – Rainbow
Let this be a lesson to me – don’t be grumpy when you find yourself about a mile away from your car, with the umbrella in the trunk, and you are walking back in the rain. You never know when a magnificent rainbow will pop up out of nowhere to put an exclamation point on your awesome day in Austin. 🙂
Texas Book Festival – Butterfly Fountain
The Texas Book Festival is the best time of the year to seek out migrating Monarchs. They typically look for a food source at the fountain on the State Capitol grounds. They are so much fun to photograph, because they don’t stay on one flower blossom for long, but flitter about on their own personal schedule.
Texas Book Festival – Michael Fracasso
I was excited to find out that Michael Fracasso was playing in the Music Tent for the Texas Book Festival. He is one of my favorite local singer-songwriters. He and his band were awesome!
Texas Book Festival – Capitol
Today’s event was the Texas Book Festival at the State Capitol. I attended a few of the book panels, but didn’t fall in love with any of the authors I saw. The sun was mostly hidden behind clouds, so in between events, I walked the grounds and took a few photos of the gray conditions.
Alamo Sunset
Muertos Fest – Parade
Of course there had to be a parade through the Festival grounds!
Muertos Fest – Art
Today there was a DÃa de Los Muertos Festival in downtown San Antonio at La Villita. The Festival had tons of art on display and for sale at several booths around the courtyard. It was jam packed with families in the mood to celebrate.
