I can see your house from here!

The contrasts of old and new. I shot this photo from an older neighborhood in south Austin. The tower we live in is very close to the tall one you see here.

A nice thought

Saw this yard sign in south Austin the other day. A good thing to keep in mind.

Dead Wildlife Museum

The giant giraffe sculpture is in South Austin at a place that is apparently a stuffed wildlife museum (as in taxidermy).

Home Sculpture

This interesting sculptural array is in the yard of a home in South Austin.

Entering a Kitschy Neighborhood

This mosaic sculpture greets one at Live Oak and Congress to give you an idea what to expect in this eclectic South Austin neighborhood.

Sidewalk Art Gallery

In South Austin someone has used the area near a sidewalk for a found object art display.

Colorful and Patriotic

This yard in South Austin has the floral display (azaleas in a pot? azaleas don't do well in our soil) and the flag.

Gingerbread?

This house in South Austin looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Jacket or No?

The Spring-like weather had my pal FFP shedding his jacket the other day.

Building

Two cranes are up where there used to be a Hooter's Restaurant on Riverside at South First.

Blossoms in the Wind

These blossoms were on Annie Street in South Austin on our recent walk. Spring has sprung.

Is Stevie Flossing?

OK, last detail of this mural. Is Stevie Ray Vaughn flossing.

Austin Icon and Dental Hygiene

FFP shot another detail from the mural we showed yesterday. Here Willie is taking care of his teeth, maybe in a dressing room decorated with his posters.

Reflective Mural

A new mural has appeared on South Lamar. I think it may be on the side of a dentist office. In this detail, Janis Joplin appears to be brushing her teeth and looking in a mirror, surrounded by posters for her concerts.

Rooster and His Neighbors

This giant colorful yard art is in South Austin. The welcoming sign and purple house made for a bright spot on this street.

History lives here

This pretty little house with a long flight of front steps, is historic, according to the sign out front.

Recycling Shop

I never have worn one and never will. But some folks did and they are offered up for reuse. Seems like wedding dresses are the last bastion of 'one-time use!'

Duck Enchiladas in Molé Sauce

One of my favorite places to get fresh Mexican food close to our apartment is El Alma where I recently consumed these.

Yard Art to Give You Pause

Somewhere in South Austin we walked down a street we don't usually take and voilà we encountered this mildly disturbing yard art.

New graffiti exposure

Graffiti has taken a new form in ATX. I think that this placement with the girl's head was on purpose.
