This is a great bowling alley. Mel’s Lone Star Lanes has it all – bowling, good food, drinks, an arcade with prizes, and a sports bar area for adults. I need to return soon and win 2000 tickets for one of those dinosaurs.

Three Cactus Flowers
I ran across a single large cactus today that had three awesome yellow blooms in the works. Here is a photo of each flower.
Twin Lakes Park
Twin Lakes Park is full of facilities for adults and kids. It even has its own YMCA. But if you get away from things and walk along the lakesides, you can find beauty.
Eastern Sky at Sunset
A pretty cool range of colors filled the sky at sunset. Sometimes it pays to have an Eastern view.
Red Poppies II
The Poppy. The city of Georgetown excels at growing and showcasing these gorgeous flowers. It is a little late in the season, but there are still a few good flowers to be discovered while walking through the downtown neighborhoods.
BMX Pros Trick Team
The BMX Pros Trick Team was most awesome this afternoon at the Red Poppy Festival. Go see them perform their bicycle stunts if they happen to be in a town near you.
Red Poppy Festival
Today’s fun was had at the Red Poppy Festival in Georgetown. The best performances were Kimberly Dunn and Tracy Lawrence. Chet Garner from The Daytripper also made an appearance to pass out awards for the cooking contest. The Georgetown square was popping at the seams with all the people out to enjoy the evening.
Moody Pedestrian Bridge
A new pedestrian bridge has been completed recently on the University of Texas campus. The Moody Pedestrian Bridge spans Dean Keaton Street and links the Communication Building with the Belo Center for New Media. It is a fun place to walk across and photograph at sunset.
Doug Sahm Hill
In the same vicinity as the Long Center for the Performing Arts is a park with a small, steep hill that has a nice view of downtown Austin. If you take the circular path to the top of Doug Sahm Hill, you will be rewarded on nice sunny days.
El Chilito
This tiny, new establishment on Burnet Road is called El Chilito. My after work food included two Migas tacos and the Hot “O” Special – Mexican hot chocolate with espresso. It turns out that there is no inside dining area, you either enjoy your meal on the picnic tables out in front or you take it to go. I chose the picnic table option, and all was good.
