Bucolic Scene in the City

The wading bird waits for some breakfast near a boat stowed for later recreation.  Joggers, walkers and bikers pass nearby on the Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk. All in the middle of our high-rise city.

It's That Time of Year

Halloween brings those special themes to shop windows. Blackmail on South Congress is always one of the best.

Sunset

Never gets old. We should all be so lucky as to have the view that Jackie does and her skill and serendipity in capturing them for us.

Sun is Set

Never get tired of the view from Jackie's apartment.

Oops!

This vehicle went flying out of a downtown parking garage but was caught by the restraining wires. The Fire Department needed an hour or two to get it down. They succeeded!

Elvis Has Left the Building

It's the first of the month and readers know what that means: theme day. The theme is 'abandoned.' The 6th Street Cool Store on the east side has, unfortunately, been abandoned and it looks like from construction next door that it may be part of some new gentrification. In spite of the broken window and padlock on the door, the Our Lady of the Guadalupe and Elvis remain. It is interesting that Our Lady's spot was once occupied by dolphins in an earlier picture on the blog. Click here to see how others have interpreted the theme of abandoned.
