Ever feel like a kite caught in a tree? Like one very bad day in life, and then you got stuck where you are? Physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually immobilized. Maybe waiting for a fortuitous breeze to come along and lift you out of your unfortunate situation. Maybe hoping for a kind soul to come to your rescue. Perhaps someone who can mend the broken parts, patch some holes, and help you get back aloft. Knowing that you can still fly. Aware that you are able to soar.
Merry Christmas!
Going to the movie theater on Christmas Day is like taking your own life into your hands. There was an extra army to battle. 🙂
Aren’t reflection photos nice? It also doesn’t hurt when you can find some wildflowers that are willing to strike a pose for you on Christmas Eve.
The Liz Carpenter Fountain is located in Butler Park, just outside of the Palmer Events Center in Austin. It is a fun splash pad in warm weather, and a great photo opportunity in the colder weather at sunset. Of course, I wandered through the fountain with my camera and got splashed by some surprise water jets.
I checked out the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar this afternoon. I enjoyed the live music from the Jitterbug Vipers and all the eclectic arts on display. This is the 39th annual Christmas Bazaar, and I recommend it for finding that one of a kind Christmas gift for someone special.
I went to downtown Austin for lunch today, and went for a short walk at Town Lake to stretch my legs a bit. You know, just the usual stuff – lake, tall buildings, construction cranes, bridges, Stevie Ray Vaughan Sculpture, squirrel, Frost Bank Tower…
Here is a series of masterpieces I like to call “Sunset from a Plane”. 🙂
Lucky for me, there is a lot to see and do at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. My Southwest Airlines flight has been delayed for at least an hour and changed gates at least once so far. I lunched at Pei Wei, read some on my Kindle, took some photos, and now I am looking for something exciting. I will report back if anything wonderful happens.
The Stratosphere was my home for the last 7 days. This joint has become my budget hotel of choice in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed my time there, and if you wanted to, you could stay on the property the whole time and have everything you need.
