The Summer Musical at the Zilker Hillside Theater this year is Hairspray. As usual, they do an awesome job. In this one, they sing, dance, fall in love, protest, and end up in jail among other things. Check it out if you find yourself in Austin.

Emma Long Metropolitan Park
After work today, I walked along the shoreline of Emma Long Metropolitan Park and then beat the heat by going for a sunset swim. The summertime people were out in full force.
Bull Creek District Park
The recent rains in Austin have transformed Bull Creek District Park into a giant water park for the family. People were having a great time this evening with swimming, sliding down the waterfalls, playing on the rope swing, picnicking, and wading through the shallow parts. There were million dollar homes in the hills, wildflowers on the trails, and family pets wondering how they ended up in the middle of a flooded creek. Forget paying those expensive water park fees for a while and get yourself over to Bull Creek for a swim. 🙂
Bee Cave Sculpture Park
I visited the Hill Country Galleria Mall this evening in between rain showers, and it turned out that the concert in the Amphitheater was cancelled due to the weather. So instead of a rock concert, I caught the scene at the Bee Cave Sculpture Park . It was a wet evening, which made for some interesting photos and then a nice sunset.
Ballet Under the Stars
If you are in Austin, you might want to check this out. Metamorphosis Dance Team presents its Ballet Under the Stars show called “… so they dance”. It happens again Saturday night at 8:00 pm at the Zilker Hillside Theater. It is a very pleasant show and it provides you the opportunity to take a picnic and throw out a blanket on the Hill.
Fallen Tree
One of the large trees in Zilker Park fell victim to the area storms during the week. 😦

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. 🙂
Zilker Kite Festival
The Zilker Kite Festival was weather challenged today. It was still fun to catch the kites, bubbles, people, dogs, and food trailers at Zilker Park. Let’s hope next year is sunny and a bit warmer.
