There was time for another celebration today. It was the 100th birthday for the Deep Eddy Swimming pool. There was swimming, birthday cake, and a band to help celebrate. It got busy inside the pool grounds, so I left out the back gate and took a walk along the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail to enjoy some of the sights.
Not much going on here. Just getting a cup of yogurt with gummy bears and stuff – yes, there is yogurt under there somewhere. Then going for a walk around the pond at the Outlet Mall on a dark and cloudy evening.
I tried several different paths to gain access to this wonderful field of flowers today, but I was unable to find a legal path in. The best I could do was to take a long walk on the fence line. It’s OK, because the wildflowers were growing there too.
I got up early (for a Saturday) in support of the March of Dimes. The walk was fun, but the ducks at the lake were way cooler. I think they were in search of breakfast, but they were still friendly when they discovered that I was bearing no food.
This is a pretty awesome street corner in Georgetown, Texas. You should check it out sometime.
This bee was working overtime today and not much bothered with my presence. He did a pretty good job of getting himself covered with pollen dust while searching for more on this groovy purple flower.
Pretty good advice from the graffiti artist / Pac-Man fan. “Never Give Up”. Also, try this Google Doodle if you like Pac-Man.
If you go walking at the Domain on a Friday evening, you can experience several things. You can stop and admire the red roses. You can catch a rock band playing on the Great Lawn stage. Drop in at Flaming Pizza and build your own pizza creation. Make friends with a grackle who really just wants to taste a bit of your pizza. And as you walk back, you can catch the sun as it begins to set behind the power lines. Not too bad for a Friday evening.
Twin Lakes Park is full of facilities for adults and kids. It even has its own YMCA. But if you get away from things and walk along the lakesides, you can find beauty.
The Poppy. The city of Georgetown excels at growing and showcasing these gorgeous flowers. It is a little late in the season, but there are still a few good flowers to be discovered while walking through the downtown neighborhoods.
