I ran into a few friendly lizards today. They were catching some warm sun in between rain showers. Lucky for me, they allowed me to get relatively close for some photos without running away or jumping on me. It’s not cool when lizards jump on you. 🙂
I braved the rains today to get some photos of these spikey plants with the weather pattern behind them.
Just taking an evening walk in the wet weather. Me and the ducks at Mirror Lake Park.
I was hoping for a nice sunset, but there were too many clouds out to the West. There were however flowers waving in the breeze, birds chirping, large drops of rain falling at random, and deer bouncing from one side of the clearing to the other. Overall, a pretty nice evening.
Since it rained so much in Austin today, I retreated to the IMAX theater. The Jungle Book was playing and it was a pleasant surprise. You have to wonder, though, is there such a thing as too much CGI in a film even if it is done really well?
What is better than chili on a wet, rainy day in Austin? Frito pie!
Rainy weather today brought the Texas Community Music Festival under the overhang and inside the rain tarps at Central Market today. However, that didn’t stop Kupira Marimba from having a good time. They played their sets of music from Zimbabwe and got the crowd dancing in the dimly lit patio. I always recommend seeing this group of musicians if you can catch them around town for a fun party atmosphere and some lovely African Marimba Music.
The Biology Turtle Pond on campus was a nice place to get some photos of the Texas Tower on this cold, drizzly night. The Tower was lit up in Burnt Orange in honor of the Texas Women’s Volleyball Team winning the Big 12 Championship. Yay! I took the opportunity to walk around campus with my camera.
The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square. There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes. I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.
It turns out that a rainy Thanksgiving night is a good time to take a photo walk around downtown Austin.
