Periscope Drones and Search Feature

May18

If you follow my blog, then by now you know that I am a fan of the Periscope App. And it keeps getting more interesting. The latest edition provides for Periscoping directly from certain drone models, and the views are fantastic (sample screenshot above). There is also a new search feature that allows you to search for topics of interest, including a topic for “GoPro & Drones”. How cool is that for a relatively new App that just recently celebrated their one year anniversary? You can find more information on the Periscope Blog, and keep your eyes there for the next new feature that comes along. Oh, and can someone give me about one thousand dollars so I can buy my own DJI Drone starter kit for Periscoping? 🙂

Indian Blanket

May9

Texas wildflowers never cease to amaze me. These photos show three separate large fields of the Indian Blanket flowers that I ran across on my walk this evening. I’m sure this is the product of all the recent rains in Central Texas.

Evening at the Domain

Apr29

If you go walking at the Domain on a Friday evening, you can experience several things. You can stop and admire the red roses. You can catch a rock band playing on the Great Lawn stage. Drop in at Flaming Pizza and build your own pizza creation. Make friends with a grackle who really just wants to taste a bit of your pizza. And as you walk back, you can catch the sun as it begins to set behind the power lines. Not too bad for a Friday evening.

Eastern Sky at Sunset

Apr25

A pretty cool range of colors filled the sky at sunset. Sometimes it pays to have an Eastern view.

Moody Pedestrian Bridge

Apr23

A new pedestrian bridge has been completed recently on the University of Texas campus. The Moody Pedestrian Bridge spans Dean Keaton Street and links the Communication Building with the Belo Center for New Media. It is a fun place to walk across and photograph at sunset.

The Mighty Thomas Carnival

Mar26

What a beautiful evening for The Mighty Thomas Carnival to set up shop in the Dell Diamond parking lot! 🙂

SXSW – Sunset Walk

Mar17

If you come to SXSW bring some comfortable walking shoes. You will want to walk around Downtown to take in as many sights as possible.

Spring: New Beginnings

Mar3

The Round Rock ArtSpace had an art show this afternoon to celebrate Spring and New Beginnings. The intent was to celebrate “themes related to spring, growth, new beginnings and change”. I liked the art. My favorite piece below with the funky birds was called “Angel Garden” by Kristin Kim. The show inspired me to strike out on a walk around the local neighborhood as the sun was beginning to set. I just caught some new Springtime tree blossoms as the tree limbs were blowing in the wind with a beautiful sunset in the distance. I think this brief moment was on point with the celebration that ArtSpace had meant for us to enjoy.

Music on Main

Mar2

Hey, City of Round Rock! I had a good idea involving the use of your downtown plaza. Since the weather has been so beautiful, why not use the outdoor stage for a band like the Urban Achievers Brass Band? You could invite everyone out for a party, get some food trucks, maybe a snow cone making booth, face painting for the kids, and advertise it a bit to insure a good turnout. What? You already thought of that? It’s called Music on Main and it’s going to be a weekly free event for a while with a different band each week? Awesome! Keep up the good work!

Vantage Point

Feb23

Vantage Point – “a place or position affording a good view of something”. One day I will find a place in Round Rock that offers an excellent view of sunsets and weather events. Until then, you will be getting photos like these.
