The Elisabet Ney Museum had its Fourth Annual Ney Day Celebration under cloudy skies and with humid weather today. It didn’t rain, so the bands could play and everyone could relax and enjoy the event.

Moon, Squash, Rose
The moon was beautiful. The straightneck heirloom squash was peeking through the leaves trying to get a look. The roses enjoyed the best view.
The Yogurt Experience
Not much going on here. Just getting a cup of yogurt with gummy bears and stuff – yes, there is yogurt under there somewhere. Then going for a walk around the pond at the Outlet Mall on a dark and cloudy evening.
Field of Flowers
I tried several different paths to gain access to this wonderful field of flowers today, but I was unable to find a legal path in. The best I could do was to take a long walk on the fence line. It’s OK, because the wildflowers were growing there too.
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.
Caramel Frappuccino
This is a new experience for me. Trying a Starbucks next to the freeway that doesn’t have inside seating. The downside is that the wireless connection out here is lacking. The good thing is that it is a beautiful night to be out on the patio with my Caramel Frappuccino.
Letting the Grass Grow
Here is one bonus to letting the grass grow tall in an empty field. Pink Evening Primrose wildflowers! Can you spot the Lady Bug in the third photo? That was a pleasant surprise.
The Color Inside
There is an innovative art exhibit on the third floor roof of the Student Activity Center on the University of Texas campus called The Color Inside. It is described on the website as “a naked-eye observatory in the heart of the main campus, where visitors view the sky through an opening in the ceiling called an oculus.” They discourage photography for some reason, but I found the space to be most photogenic on a sunny afternoon. I’ll need to return with my button hole spy camera during the sunset or sunrise hours to try for some even more awesome photos. Wish me luck!
Captain America: Civil War
The Marvel franchise shows no signs of slowing down. The movies keep getting better and better. Every new release is a must see at the theater, or at the IMAX if you have one where you live.
“I can do this all day.”
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.
