Old Settlers Park

Mar26

I took it easy today. There was a nice walk through Old Settlers Park with soccer fields, model airplanes, and bluebonnet fields.

Southside Market & Barbeque

Mar25

Southside Market from Elgin now has a location in Bastrop. I just had to stop by and check things out. I ordered a two meat plate with brisket, turkey, potato salad, beans, and iced tea. Everything was great.

Colorado River Bridge at Bastrop

Mar25

I went to Bastrop after work today to do some exploring. I started along the banks of the Colorado River and then made my way up to the Colorado River Bridge. It was a beautiful day for a long walk and there were plenty of sights to see along the way.

Hurricane Grill and Wings

Mar24

What do you do when one of the managers at work gets a new role and won’t be working with your Team any longer? You tag along with everyone for happy hour at Hurricane Grill and Wings and have fun chatting about the good times.

Freshly Hatched

Mar23

This parent has just hatched two baby vultures. If you look closely, you can see the remnants of egg shells. As you may have read on my blog before, the Vulture family returns to this spot every year to increase their numbers. It is in a protected cove just outside a conference room with dusty windows. If you are quiet, you can watch and study the vultures behavior without disturbing them. Do you think the babies are cute?

10 Cloverfield Lane

Mar22

Freaky…

“No! No! No, no! No! Don’t open that door! You’re going to get all of us killed!”

Paintbrush

Mar21

Oh my! This field was so beautiful! I tiptoed around the edges, making sure not to squash any wildflowers. When I found a plant that was photo worthy, I dropped to the ground and put my little camera to work, getting grass stains on my knees. No flowers were harmed during the process. Then the sun began to fall in behind everything as the breezes started to die down. Bluebonnets are groovy, but the Indian Paintbrushes in this field were the best. Not to mention the friendly ladybug. 🙂

SXSW – McDonald’s Loft

Mar20

McDonald’s Loft was one of my favorite SXSW venues this year. The lines were long, but once inside, they fed you, gave you drinks, and entertained you. This band is called Escondido, and they were fun.

SXSW – Pandora Discovery Den

Mar20

My SXSW strategy for the last day of the festival was to bounce around to as many parties as possible. Of course, the downside to this strategy was waiting in lines. This party was the Pandora Discovery Den. The band having fun on stage is Bleached.
