Sandy Creek Park

Feb5

I took a short sunset hike along the shoreline at Sandy Creek Park this evening. This small, quiet park at Lake Travis might be a good spot for a swim in the summertime.

Another Goat

Feb4

Chicken, Chicken, Goat, Dragon, Rabbit, Horse, Chicken, Snake, Goat…

I am trying the “Salted Caramel Cream blasTea” today. With tapioca pearls, of course. 🙂

Austin Community College

Feb3

I took a short walk around Austin Community College in Round Rock before it got too cold and too dark. The water tower caught my attention at dusk.

Too Much Exercise

Jan31

Some Sundays are just meant for rest. I think I am pushing a little too hard on the workouts, so my body just wanted total relaxation today. I did go out into the world this evening for some food and a late grocery store trip. Apparently, the local HEB is gearing up for Valentine’s Day. 🙂

Star Wars: The Force Awakens – IMAX

Jan30

I rarely see movies twice in the theater, but I had to see this one at the IMAX before it moved on. It was so much more intertaining – especially the aerial fight scenes – on the large screen. Too cool.

Frost II

Jan28

This is the best we can do in Central Texas. We watch your photos from the North East Coast (and other cold weather places) in awe of the piles of snow. We travel to places like Colorado just to ski, snowboard, and play in the snow. Here it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning and 71 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon. If you hurry out to your car in the morning, before it warms up, you can get a glimpse of frost on the windshield and dream of the last time you caught snowflakes on your tongue.

Pecan Manor

Jan26

Here is a Pixlr edit of a photo I took in Taylor, Texas a few weeks ago. This place is a groovy looking bed and breakfast called “Pecan Manor“. I like experimenting with the watercolor style in Pixlr, and the original photo is below for comparison.

The Secret

Jan25

I have discovered that the secret to good photography is to place a sunrise or a sunset behind just about anything. Or to photograph cute babies or cuddly critters, but I am not very good at that. Now, if you can place a sunset behind a cuddly critter, then you can apply for a gig at National Geographic. 🙂

Borgeous & Morgan Page & DELORA

Jan24

EDM concerts are so much fun! My strategy is to jam up as close to the stage as possible and enjoy the music and the energy. If you have the opportunity to see Borgeous or Morgan Page or DELORA while they tour North America, you should jump at it. These performers are wonderful, and the music is great. Here are some photos to give you an idea of what happened at Emo’s in Austin last night.
