Hole in the Sky Again

We have been looking at blue skies with an unrelenting sun for so long that we are fascinated by clouds that aren't actually smoke from wild fires. Unfortunately in the middle of Austin all we've gotten so far is clouds and lightning and little actual rain. This formation was seen briefly yesterday as storms moved through southeast of us.

Somthing Uplifting

Felt the need for something uplifting today so I've chosen a view of part of a mosaic wall at the Phoenix Academy on Live Oak, a drug treatment facility for teens.

Tourist Cow

The funniest thing about this cow is not her socks, the flowery shirt or the fanny pack or camera you can't see in this picture. No, it's that all her spots are the shapes of continents! Spotted (pun intended) at Fifth and Lamar.

Elegant Reflections

At the Ballet Austin event on Friday celebrants enjoyed a somewhat cool evening on the terrace of the W hotel. Notice the balcony panels that once were glass. Will be interesting to see when those are replaced. (See this entry.)

Cabin in Clarksville

There's some real history in Clarksville as this old cabin attests.

We Enjoy a Lake Outing!

Saw this pair on our Lady Bird Lake trail stroll on Friday. They did have some people with them. To push their stroller, I guess.

Banned Book Week

Banned Book Week is September 24-October 1. Book People got a jump on things and had this up for a while with books banned at various times and places on offer.
