A Gift for a Special Someone

The shop window at Mercury Design on West Second. Surely you can find the perfect gift here!

Window art

We saw this pretty geometric display in a store window on West Sixth the other day.

SoCo Shopping

There's a shop on South Congress that sells novelties. Their window is always interesting.

Beauty and the Beasts

The windows at Blackmail, which is run by a good friend of ours, are always arresting when you walk down South Congress.

Tis the Season

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And at Tesoros Trading on South Congress even the skeletons are in the spirit.

Take Some Texas Home

Tourist or local, this South Congress shop has a bit of Texas to take home whether it's a smart summer cowboy hat, snazzy yellow and black boots or a tiny cactus.

Pink and black is back!

This show window has a lot of style. Very retro.

Bag to match

This cool dude is all decked out for fall. Of course, it gets cool enough to wear a jacket about two months a year around our town.

Sensual?

It's the first of the month and, of course, it's theme day at the City Daily Photo portal. I shot this picture of the window of a lingerie store on Second Street last year. It's funny how mannequins can evoke sensuality, isn't it? Click here to see what others have posted for this theme day.

Quit Monkeying Around

It's the first of the month and, as always, theme day at City Daily Photo. The theme is 'Photographing the Photographer' and so I offer this shop window. There are two of your Austin, Texas Daily Photo correspondents. I'm shooting both our pictures, reflected in a shop window. On our walks around downtown Austin we do put our phones away and enjoy reality, but if I spy a promising reflection, I'm sure to whip out my phone for a picture. Meanwhile, FFP checks for important emails. Click here for other interpretations of this theme.

Outsider Art

The window at Yard Dog on South Congress. They sell what one would call 'outsider art' or 'folk art.'

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!'

More Mannequin Carnage

Couldn't resist another mannequin one from Jackie. I like the lively stride from the poster versus the downed mannequins.

Take it Lying Down

Another from the abandoned Luke's Locker from Jackie.

Out of Business

Jackie shot this of the stripped interior of Luke's Locker downtown. The company has gone into bankruptcy.
