Isn’t it nice when all the neighborhood kids go home for dinner and you have the pool all to yourself? Just you and the sunset, the cool water, the clouds, the birds, and the quiet.

Renegade Craft Fair
Word. The Renegade Craft Fair was the coolest. My favorite was the plant your own terrarium booth. 🙂
Peking Opera
I am new to Traditional Peking Opera, but I think I am hooked. I really liked Yu Ji’s sword dance from “Farewell My Concubine”. My favorite was the back and forth conversation between Yang Yanhui and Princess Iron Mirror as she tried to guess what was troubling him so much in “Mother-Son Renuion”. A super fun day!
Asian American Resource Center
Why should I visit the Asian American Resource Center, you might ask. Well, they have many cool events like the Peking Opera performance this afternoon. And if you get there before July 31st, you can see the photo exhibition by Ali Khataw called “Faces of Humanity”. These are some powerful portraits from around the world. If you are not near Austin, then at least check out his website to view his amazing photography.
Mayfield Nature Preserve – Peacocks
This place is known for its peacocks. They can be found roaming the grounds, wandering out into the street, up in the trees, or on top of the house. They are not very shy and don’t mind posing for a photo or two.
Mayfield Nature Preserve – Hiking
This hike was much more beautiful than I had expected. Mayfield Nature Preserve had a lot to offer in a relatively small place. I found mushrooms, wildflowers, the lake, a creek, a cave, small waterfalls, and plenty of mud to hike around in due to all the recent rains. Too much fun! 🙂
Mayfield Nature Preserve – Trail Map
The Mayfield Nature Preserve is a great spot for some short trail hiking. It had been raining most of the day, but let up after work so I could take a quick hike.
Palm Valley Lutheran Church
Oh my!
Clouds of Sils Maria
My favorite part of this movie was learning about the natural phenomena of “Das Wolkenphänomen von Maloja” or the “Maloja Snake”. This is a cloud bank that moves its way along a valley in the Alps and has been compared to a giant dragon or the largest boa constrictor in the world. The scenery in the Alps is absolutely wonderful!
