I took a short walk around Barton Springs Pool this evening before sunset and it was warm enough that I wished I had brought my swimsuit. Oh well, next time… Isn’t this a beautiful swimming hole?

Homeless Jesus
This sculpture depicting Homeless Jesus can be found outside the Central Presbyterian Church in Downtown Austin.
SXSW – French Legation Museum
The French Legation Museum is hosting several SXSW events hosted by Le French Tech Club throughout the week. If you haven’t been, the Museum is a historic mansion and grounds on a hill on the East side of Downtown Austin. It has several gardens, lots of art, and a perfect small, grassy hill for holding events. My favorite event was the performance by Thylacine (William Rezé). He is a super talented EDM performer, and I loved the part of his set where he played the saxophone along with his musical creations. I hope to see him again sometime soon.
Bee + Art + Tree
This tree was blooming in full on pink blossoms and its vicinity to the modern art sculpture made for some nice photos. The bee was an extra bonus as I made my way along Congress Avenue.
Explore UT – Monochrome for Austin
Explore UT – Art Building (Visual Arts Center)
The Visual Arts Center did not disappoint. It supplied me with several opportunities for photographs.
First Baptist Church Austin
I visited the First Baptist Church in downtown Austin this afternoon for a Piano Solo Recital. The church was really nice. I liked the sanctuary, the stained glass windows, and the lobby with the four story mobile and the sculpture of the Archangel Michael.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sculpture
On my rainy walk through the campus of The University of Texas this evening, I stopped to admire the sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
The sculpture had more meaning after recently watching the film “Selma”.
Town Lake
I went to downtown Austin for lunch today, and went for a short walk at Town Lake to stretch my legs a bit. You know, just the usual stuff – lake, tall buildings, construction cranes, bridges, Stevie Ray Vaughan Sculpture, squirrel, Frost Bank Tower…
Katrina Sculptures
After Hurricane Katrina, many of the trees in Biloxi were left severely damaged by the storm surge. The median of highway 90 is now home to several chainsaw sculptures thanks to the volunteer efforts of sculptor Marlin Miller.
