The Browning Hangar – Sunset

Well, that was just a great ending to a most awesome day. 🙂

Thinkery – Minor Mishap Marching Band

I went back to the Thinkery to watch the Minor Mishap Marching Band perform. They are so much fun. According to their website, “Minor Mishap Marching Band is known for their shenanigans, their black and yellow costumes, and their fun-loving exuberance.” Totally true, and they play great music together too.

I discovered this great garden full of red roses on my way to the Thinkery this evening. Here are a few roses for you.

Brushy Creek Lake Park – Bluebonnets

Mar31

I went walking this afternoon at Brushy Creek Lake Park with a side endeavor of bluebonnet photos. The walk was beautiful, and the bluebonnets were even more astounding. I wish I could share the aroma of this field with you over the Internet. There were more flowers than you could imagine, bees, joggers, dogs, grasshoppers, kayakers, and bikers. A most lovely afternoon was had by all. 🙂

Cuba Bakery & Cafe

Mar30

Today’s lunchtime mission was to get some empanadas. According to Wikipedia, “Cuban empanadas are typically filled with seasoned meats (usually ground beef or chicken), folded into dough, and deep-fried.” That was the case at Cuba Bakery & Cafe in Round Rock. In the third picture you can see the state of the empanadas in the display case after my friend and I got our orders. We almost cleaned them out of the chicken and beef ones. Now we just need to time our assault so that we arrive as they are just coming out of the oven. Yummy!

HONK! TX – Parade

The final day for this year’s HONK! TX festival provided a parade through the streets of East Austin, followed by performances at the Pan Am Park stage. The weather was perfect and it was an excellent ending to this great annual tradition in Austin. I hope you enjoy all the photos!

Cisco’s Restaurant is an Austin institution, having served breakfast on the East Side for more than 50 years. Their migas are some of my favorite in all of Austin.
