This was the nighttime scene as I walked through Zilker Park in search of my car. A most beautiful evening!

Hairspray
The Summer Musical at the Zilker Hillside Theater this year is Hairspray. As usual, they do an awesome job. In this one, they sing, dance, fall in love, protest, and end up in jail among other things. Check it out if you find yourself in Austin.
Ballet Under the Stars
If you are in Austin, you might want to check this out. Metamorphosis Dance Team presents its Ballet Under the Stars show called “… so they dance”. It happens again Saturday night at 8:00 pm at the Zilker Hillside Theater. It is a very pleasant show and it provides you the opportunity to take a picnic and throw out a blanket on the Hill.
Barton Springs Flooding
This is the shallow end at Barton Springs. If you have been to the pool before, you will understand how crazy this is. And yes, the pool is expected to be closed for some time.
Fallen Tree
One of the large trees in Zilker Park fell victim to the area storms during the week. 😦
Shakespeare in the Park
Austin Shakespeare presented “The Taming of the Shrew” at the Zilker Hillside Theater. The setting for the play was the city of Austin in the 1890’s and the surrounding countryside. So, of course, everyone had to wear boots and hats. It was a fun version of Shakespeare, and the play goes on through the month of May if you like outdoor theater, and find yourself in Austin.
Barton Springs Pool
I took a short walk around Barton Springs Pool this evening before sunset and it was warm enough that I wished I had brought my swimsuit. Oh well, next time… Isn’t this a beautiful swimming hole?
Zilker Botanical Garden – Entryway
While the weather today wasn’t so friendly to the kite people, it was nice to the flowers at the entrance to the Zilker Botanical Garden. The moisture made for some cool photos.
Zilker Kite Festival
The Zilker Kite Festival was weather challenged today. It was still fun to catch the kites, bubbles, people, dogs, and food trailers at Zilker Park. Let’s hope next year is sunny and a bit warmer.
Zilker Botanical Garden – Sunset
Yes, the sunsets are beautiful at the Zilker Botanical Garden. Just walk through the gardens and discover your favorite vantage point.
