This is the shallow end at Barton Springs. If you have been to the pool before, you will understand how crazy this is. And yes, the pool is expected to be closed for some time.

Fallen Tree
One of the large trees in Zilker Park fell victim to the area storms during the week. 😦
Vulture Babies are Growing Up
The vulture babies have almost grown up. One of them has already grown taller than the parent. They are shedding their fluffy parts for real feathers, and soon they will learn to fly so they can take off on adventures of their own.
Brushy Creek Flooding
Parts of downtown Austin have it much worse than we do in Round Rock. These pictures are of the flooded Brushy Creek and for comparison, you can see one of my earlier posts from February. Now, the question is how much more rain will this area receive in the near future?
Great Hills Sunset
There was a nice sunset today off of Great Hills Trail in Austin. 🙂
Mozart’s Deck
When I left Mozart’s tonight, it was pouring down rain. I took a picture of the deck and then had some fun with the Pixlr App. I will provide you with both the edited version and the original version so you can see which one you like best.
Mount Bonnell
It continued raining in Austin today, so I thought I would see what the view looked like from the top of Mount Bonnell in the rain.
Kerbey Lane Cafe
Yay! Round Rock now has its own Kerbey Lane Cafe (a bit of a novelty for this town because it is open 24/7). I can’t count the number of late night or early morning visits I have made to the original location in a converted house in Austin. The Round Rock location has been open for about a week, and it is already filling up, requiring a wait for a table with a vibrating pager. I ordered breakfast (migas) with a “special” pancake as a side item. The off menu items are always the best here. But there is plenty to choose from on the official menu. If you find yourself in the area, I recommend that you check it out no matter the time of day or night.
Wild Basin – Scenic Overlook
By the time I reached the scenic overlook at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, the storm clouds were building. Lucky for me, I snapped some photos, hung out with a friendly rabbit, and made it back to the car just before the storm. Good timing, indeed!
Wild Basin – Waterfall
My goal today at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve was to see the waterfall. I thought it would be raging with all the rain we have had recently, and it did not disappoint. The downside was that the crossings for Bee Creek were also raging and the hiking conditions were muddy in places. A good test for my hiking boots. 🙂
