Al fresco makeup

This young lady was getting made up for an outdoor photo shot on a recent morning.

Heads up!

This rather unnerving sight met us as we walked along the Shoal Creek trail on a recent morning.

Ye who enter here . . .

This list pretty much covers it all. These steps lead to a co-op in the west campus area of The University of Texas.

Rounding up for Round-Up!

A group of day-glo clad girls posed for a photo outside their sorority house near the UT campus on a recent morning. This weekend marks the annual Round-Up event at UT.

Washing the Eagle

A sculpture by David Deming called Eagle II apparently needed cleaning and these two gals were doing a great job. It is in front of Austin's main library, named for John Henry Faulk, at 8th and Guadalupe. (There will be a new main library location in a couple of years. It is being built a couple of blocks from us at Cesar Chavez on the west bank of Shoal Creek.)
