This Sculpture, among others, can be found at the end of the Waco Suspension Bridge. It is a great depiction of a Vaquero herding some longhorn cattle.

Waco Suspension Bridge
The Waco Suspension Bridge is a beautiful historic bridge that was first opened in 1870. It was once a toll bridge for stagecoaches, cattle, and humans. The only other way to cross the Brazos River at the time was by ferry. Now the bridge is a pedestrian bridge only, and is full of activity on beautiful, sunny days like today.
Washington Avenue Bridge
After a quick Zoo visit, I still had some more walking energy. My next stop was the Washington Avenue Bridge which spans the Brazos River in Waco.
Cameron Park Zoo – Faces
On this last day of New Year’s Holiday, I decided to take the relatively short road trip to Waco again. The weather was perfect, so why not begin the day with a walk about at the Cameron Park Zoo? For this set of photos, I got as close to the animals as possible, then cropped the photos to mostly include faces. Here are some lovely Zoo faces to enjoy. I think the Meerkat wins.
Hope Outdoor Gallery – Views
Austin is building everywhere. Notice all of the cranes in the skyline? They are even putting up condos just below the Hope Outdoor Gallery. There are rumors that the graffiti gallery will be moving to a new location. For now, there are still nice views to be enjoyed from the top of the hill.
Hope Outdoor Gallery – Graffiti
Wow. Hope Outdoor Gallery was a super popular place to visit on this first day of the new year. Everyone was enjoying the sunny day and taking some photos of the artwork, along with the obligatory selfies. 🙂
Austin’s New Year – By Night
If Austin throws a party with Ray Wylie Hubbard, and fireworks, and other fun activities, then you should probably attend.

Long Lines
It must be the Holidays. The line at Louie Mueller Barbecue was too long – almost out the front door. Lucky for me, the BBQ is so good there. Today’s lunch was moist brisket, turkey, beans, bread, pickles, BBQ sauce, and iced tea. Yummy.
Lion
This was one of my favorite films of the year. It starts with a hundred butterflies. It will take you out of India, then out of Australia. In the process, it will crush you like a bug.
