I was downtown for an event this evening, and I decided to wander off for a bit in search of Christmas cheer. The Christmas tree at the Driskill Hotel was beautiful as always.

Below the Dam
As the sun began its early descent, I embarked down the hill below the North San Gabriel Dam. This is a nice, paved trail that takes you to the base of the Dam where the rushing water outlet allows the San Gabriel River to continue on its path through Georgetown. When the days are longer, I will return to explore more of this area.
Citizen Alert…
Hello citizens of Austin. If you have lost your cuddly lion toy, it can now be found on the South side of Town Lake just before you step onto the new Boardwalk Trail, as some kind soul has placed it on a wall for safe keeping. As a secondary alert, the rains are over for now and sunny weather is predicted for the trail for today and tomorrow.
Frisbee Golf
I was hanging out at Old Settlers Park with co-workers and friends this afternoon. According to their site, there is an 18-hole professionally designed disc golf course that is open for play seven days a week. These shots are taken at one of the holes as the sun was about to finish up for the day.
Yellow
I ran into these blasts of color while on a short walkabout today. I liked how the leaves chose to be mostly yellow all at the same time.
Colors
This tree was on fire with the colors of the season during my walk this evening.
Taylor Train Station
The Taylor Train Station is a good place to catch a sunset and to wait for your train to arrive. The train tracks run parallel to Highway 79, and on your way to Taylor, you may get the opportunity to race a train locomotive that is pulling several rail cars behind it.
Three Frogs
Yes, three frogs! Christmas lights are an extra special bonus, just for your viewing pleasure.
Noel
Noel is just another word for Christmas. The Mueller Tower had its lighting ceremony this evening – complete with space heaters, festivities, bands, kids, Christmas carols, kettle corn, food trucks, dogs, drinks, and lights. What a nice event to help get ready for Christmas.
