Austin Walk
After my visit to the Mexic-Arte Museum, I struck out on a long walk. I went South on Congress, crossed the Ann Richards Bridge, got onto the Hike and Bike Trail, it turned into the Boardwalk, crossed over Town Lake at the I-35 bridge, followed the trail under I-35, walked up Rainey Street, by the Convention Center, over to Sixth Street, and back to Congress. Of course, I took a few photos of the scenes along the way on this cold and cloudy day in Austin (the sky cleared a little as the day went on). Overall, a nice walk!
Mexic-Arte Museum
If you live in America, you have been cheated out of fun all this time. You have been playing boring Bingo with combinations of letters and numbers like “B-12”. All along, Mexico has had a cooler version called Lotería with awesome picture cards like La Muerte (“Death”) and La Sirena (“The Mermaid”). I learned more about this today at the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, and took some photos to help enlighten the rest of the planet. Now you can jettison your Bingo cards and pick up Lotería cards to replace them. You can thank me later with a small portion of your winnings. ¡Buena suerte! 🙂

The Kite
Ever feel like a kite caught in a tree? Like one very bad day in life, and then you got stuck where you are? Physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually immobilized. Maybe waiting for a fortuitous breeze to come along and lift you out of your unfortunate situation. Maybe hoping for a kind soul to come to your rescue. Perhaps someone who can mend the broken parts, patch some holes, and help you get back aloft. Knowing that you can still fly. Aware that you are able to soar.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
The Hobbit – The Battle of the Five Armies
Going to the movie theater on Christmas Day is like taking your own life into your hands. There was an extra army to battle. 🙂
Austin Reflection
Aren’t reflection photos nice? It also doesn’t hurt when you can find some wildflowers that are willing to strike a pose for you on Christmas Eve.
Liz Carpenter Fountain
The Liz Carpenter Fountain is located in Butler Park, just outside of the Palmer Events Center in Austin. It is a fun splash pad in warm weather, and a great photo opportunity in the colder weather at sunset. Of course, I wandered through the fountain with my camera and got splashed by some surprise water jets.
