Experimenting with the Pixlr App. The original photo (below) needed to be sharpened and adjusted for some brighter colors. I like the edited version better.

Floodgates
I took a walk this afternoon to examine the condition of the Colorado River at the floodgates of Tom Miller Dam. I started at the dam, and then went down for a loop around the trail at Red Bud Isle. The Isle was partially flooded, but some of the trail remained accessible. After taking some photos of the flooded state of the river, I returned back up the hill to end up at the dock across from the Hula Hut restaurant. It turned out to be a nice walk, and a great evening.
March for Babies
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.
Indian Blanket
Texas wildflowers never cease to amaze me. These photos show three separate large fields of the Indian Blanket flowers that I ran across on my walk this evening. I’m sure this is the product of all the recent rains in Central Texas.
SXSW – Sunset Walk
If you come to SXSW bring some comfortable walking shoes. You will want to walk around Downtown to take in as many sights as possible.
Sandy Creek Park
I took a short sunset hike along the shoreline at Sandy Creek Park this evening. This small, quiet park at Lake Travis might be a good spot for a swim in the summertime.
The Secret
I have discovered that the secret to good photography is to place a sunrise or a sunset behind just about anything. Or to photograph cute babies or cuddly critters, but I am not very good at that. Now, if you can place a sunset behind a cuddly critter, then you can apply for a gig at National Geographic. 🙂
Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone! These are some photos from my view of the Austin festivities. I hope your 2016 is a joyful and rewarding year.
Overlook Park
Today’s mission was to walk across the North San Gabriel Dam, down the hill, and then to the fishing pier at Overlook Park on Lake Georgetown. Sometimes you get a groovy sunset, and sometimes you get beautiful colors. It was a nice cool evening at the lake with an occasional fish jumping to break the calm surface of the water.
Overcast
Attending a classical guitar concert this evening, and stopped along the way at the top of the hill to take some photos of Austin on this cloudy day. Everything is so green after the weekend rains.
