Got a chance to get out on Lake Travis today with some friends. We launched a boat from Cypress Creek Park and went for a ride. We caught some sun and fed a pair of ducks in a cove where we were relaxing. As you can see from my snapshots, the lake is very pretty at this time of year. I’ll have to remember to get out there more often.
Just taking an evening walk in the wet weather. Me and the ducks at Mirror Lake Park.
I got up early (for a Saturday) in support of the March of Dimes. The walk was fun, but the ducks at the lake were way cooler. I think they were in search of breakfast, but they were still friendly when they discovered that I was bearing no food.
What do ducks do in the rain?
What do people do in the rain?
This was my destination for the afternoon. A place where I could explore a little bit, take some photos, duck in and out of the coffee shop for a cool drink and some air conditioning, chase butterflies, and learn a little bit about the history of the Pearl Brewery.
While I was Downtown this evening, I struck out for a long walk in the drizzle on the Town Lake hike and bike trail. It was peaceful, and I met a few ducks along the way before returning to the Downtown area.
These fountains can be found outside the Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk. A nice cool oasis when walking around downtown San Antonio.
Georgetown has a nice swimming hole called Blue Hole that is close to Downtown. It is a good picnic spot. I caught these three ducks enjoying the cool water this evening.
I got a nice surprise this evening while crossing the San Gabriel River in Georgetown. In this photo, you can just see the rainbow. It was much more stunning in real life. 🙂
