Driftwood

A few scenes from my drive through Driftwood , Texas this afternoon. A lovely place just outside of Austin.

Jacob’s Well

It was a nice day for a drive today, so I went to check out Jacob’s Well , near Wimberly. From the parking area, it is a short walk to the artesian spring. The opening to the swimming hole is only about 12 feet, so it is not a very large place to swim. It is currently closed to swimming, but there were a few people breaking the rules, and a handful of scuba divers descending into the spring. The water was very clear and inviting.

Capitol

Sep27

Since it was such a beautiful night, and I was in the downtown area, I walked over to the Texas State Capitol for some exercise and some photos. Apparently, a lot of other people had the same idea. We were all enjoying the night and taking our best shots of the Capitol Building.

Pecan Street Festival

Sep27

So the Pecan Street Festival is happening this weekend on Sixth Street. As you can tell from the pictures, it was an overcast and cool day with a few sprinkles scattered in for fun. Booths, bands, food, drink, people and their pets made for an interesting day.

Flowers

A rose and a Passion flower for your enjoyment.

Wizard of Oz

Sep25

By far, my favorite game at Pinballz Arcade was the Wizard of Oz Coin Pusher Game . As you can see in the pictures, you shoot coins into the game with the hopes of pushing prizes off the edge. The most valuable prize you can obtain are the Wizard of Oz cards. I told the Wicked Witch “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” I did get her (along with several other cards). This game is so addicting!

Pinballz

Pinballz Arcade is not lying when they say they have pinball machines. There are a ton of them to play, and if you feel the need, you can purchase one for your home. Here are some pictures of my favorites they had in the arcade today.

Zoltar

Today, for a work event, my team met up at Pinballz Arcade in North Austin. We always make fun of one of the guys at work, because he has all the knowledge and all the answers like Zoltar. These pictures are for him.
