As I mentioned, the views of downtown Austin are very nice from the hills of St. Edward’s University.

St. Edward’s University – Main Building
On this cloudy, overcast day, I took a walk around St. Edward’s University. The campus is on a hill overlooking Austin and has some scenic views of downtown along with some very lovely fields of Bluebonnets. The Main Building was constructed in 1888 on the highest elevation point on campus, and it makes for some nice photos from any vantage point around campus.
St. Edwards Park – Wildflowers
Springtime in Austin. 🙂
Red Roses
I discovered this great garden full of red roses on my way to the Thinkery this evening. Here are a few roses for you.
Brushy Creek Lake Park – Bluebonnets
I went walking this afternoon at Brushy Creek Lake Park with a side endeavor of bluebonnet photos. The walk was beautiful, and the bluebonnets were even more astounding. I wish I could share the aroma of this field with you over the Internet. There were more flowers than you could imagine, bees, joggers, dogs, grasshoppers, kayakers, and bikers. A most lovely afternoon was had by all. 🙂
City Hall
I parked at Austin City Hall this afternoon to attend some more SXSW events. The events were nothing to write home about, but the flowers, sunshine, and architecture at City Hall were great!
SXSW – French Legation Museum
The French Legation Museum is hosting several SXSW events hosted by Le French Tech Club throughout the week. If you haven’t been, the Museum is a historic mansion and grounds on a hill on the East side of Downtown Austin. It has several gardens, lots of art, and a perfect small, grassy hill for holding events. My favorite event was the performance by Thylacine (William Rezé). He is a super talented EDM performer, and I loved the part of his set where he played the saxophone along with his musical creations. I hope to see him again sometime soon.
Texas State Cemetery – Roses
There are some beautiful roses along the fences of the Texas State Cemetery.
Explore UT – Bluebonnets
A nice patch of bluebonnets in bloom!
Explore UT – The Map
Today was the open house at The University of Texas called “Explore UT“. It is billed as “The Biggest Open House in Texas! — an extraordinary event featuring close to 400 programs held across the Forty Acres.” And they aren’t kidding. I found some things on campus today that I didn’t know existed and wore myself out by rushing from one awesome event to another. Get ready for a ton of photos to be posted!
