The bluebonnet fields were cool. The views of downtown from St. Edward’s University were nice. But the ladybugs posing for photos were by far the best.

Daylight Saving Time
Thank you Daylight Saving Time. I now have an extra hour of sunlight after work so I can take more interesting walks and use the last bits of the sun’s rays to take more interesting photos. Yay!
February Wildflowers
This is an awesome time in Central Texas. The wildflowers are beginning to pop up. This groovy patch can be found at Park Hills Baptist Church, and there is also a nice view of downtown Austin from this site. Have fun if you go, and beware of the traffic on the nearby road. 🙂
Overlook
I went for a short hike at sunset today. There were plenty of yellow wildflowers and beautiful purple skies.
In the Rain
Sometimes you get rewarded for taking long walks in the rain.
Dead End
Sometimes a dead end can be a beautiful place to find growth, change, and to take the time to make a necessary u-turn.
Floodgates
I took a walk this afternoon to examine the condition of the Colorado River at the floodgates of Tom Miller Dam. I started at the dam, and then went down for a loop around the trail at Red Bud Isle. The Isle was partially flooded, but some of the trail remained accessible. After taking some photos of the flooded state of the river, I returned back up the hill to end up at the dock across from the Hula Hut restaurant. It turned out to be a nice walk, and a great evening.
Flowers and Clouds
I was hoping for a nice sunset, but there were too many clouds out to the West. There were however flowers waving in the breeze, birds chirping, large drops of rain falling at random, and deer bouncing from one side of the clearing to the other. Overall, a pretty nice evening.
Field of Flowers
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.
Letting the Grass Grow
Here is one bonus to letting the grass grow tall in an empty field. Pink Evening Primrose wildflowers! Can you spot the Lady Bug in the third photo? That was a pleasant surprise.
