This awesome Spider Sculpture called Arachnophillia is pretty spooky to walk under at night.

Nighttime Walk
The scenes at night in Downtown Santa Fe.
Daytime Walk
New Mexico Museum of Art
The New Mexico Museum of Art is a nice respite from the afternoon heat in downtown Santa Fe. There are sculptures, paintings, and other items of interest to keep you engaged. As an added bonus, the pueblo architecture is amazing.
Asian American Resource Center II
I attended an event at the Asian American Resource Center again today. Here are some photos from the outside and from the rock garden atrium in the center of the facility.
Ney Day
Today in Austin there was a festival to celebrate Elizabet Ney – “Ney Day”. There were artists, live music, fruit slushes, and tours of the Elizabet Ney Museum. The 100 degree heat made it tough for a festival, but everyone still had fun.
Art*o*mat
It is raining off and on in Austin today, so I find myself upstairs at Whole Foods eating some soup and salad and watching the storms blow by from the second floor windows. There is this old cigarette dispenser that has been retrofitted as an art machine – the Art*o*mat. Pretty cool. I was trying to decide between Joyce Lyman’s Folk Art Sculpture and “Stick Man – Put together a new friend”, and the Folk Art won because a new friend might turn out to be too needy. I put in my hard earned dollars, pull the handle, and out slides a groovy alligator in a box. Don’t be jealous. Joyce Lyman might make an alligator for you too if you ask nicely…
Spider
If you walk the correct path at Mueller, you will find yourself beneath a giant Spider. The sculpture is called “Arachnophillia“, and was created by the artist Dixie Friend Gay. Today, the temperature was about 90 degrees which made for a hot walk in the direct sunlight. The sunflowers were loving it and the baby birds were using the spider for shelter as they chirped for dinner.
Bee Cave Sculpture Park
I visited the Hill Country Galleria Mall this evening in between rain showers, and it turned out that the concert in the Amphitheater was cancelled due to the weather. So instead of a rock concert, I caught the scene at the Bee Cave Sculpture Park . It was a wet evening, which made for some interesting photos and then a nice sunset.
La Fiesta
This bronze sculpture called “La Fiesta” by Dan Pogue, can be found just in front of the Round Rock Public Library. It is a pretty fun piece of art, and it can be yours for a small price. 🙂
