Anywhere he wants to

Linda has found a new pal. This big guy was outside the curiosity shop on West Sixth.

Day of the dead

It's getting close to Halloween if the Day of the Dead dolls are making the shop windows.

How bout them Horns?

You have to love the sense of humor here. This is at the fire station near the U of Texas campus.

History under our feet

This sidewalk in West Campus near the U of Texas was poured in July 1915.

Pieous Pizza Pizzaz!

The is the Fat Queen pizza at Pieous, a great locally-run place for excellent food. Neopolitan style!

The water's rising, mamma!

Looks like Shoal Creek got kind of high the other night.

Scale

The current (until November 6) show at Women and Their Work is "Emily Fleisher's Astro-Turf and it plays with scale and space (as in this work where a miniature landscape spills from a wheelbarrow constructed from wood.

More roads!

This stretch of MoPac will soon be open. Well, someday.

Love this attitude

Come on in and sit a spell!

Meet the meat!

The meat selection at Dai Due's butcher shop is amazing. I am glad that they opened this restaurant/retail store.

North facing shot of skyline

I took this panoramic shot of the skyline from our perch at Zach Theatre the other night. What a town we have.

These boots were made for styling

Our friend Scott had on a pair of cool boots at the Zach play the other night.

Listening

During the Blanton Museum SoundSpace event people move around at will. On the staircase at one point these listeners seemed to be choreographing their movements while someone passed them on the stairs to take up a different position.

Growing up On Lady Bird Lake

I'm thinking this is a Black-crowned Night Heron juvenile. What do you think? Spotted on Lady Bird Lake, of course.

Me and My Shadow

This egret appears to be walking on water but really he's wading in the shallows near the Lady Bird Lake boardwalk.

Slow and steady

These turtles were sunning and relaxing on a piece of wood in Lady Bird Lake the other day.

The main event

This extremely avant musical piece was performed over an hour by players who had their parts governed by digital clocks posted where they could see them. It was mesmerizing.

Mutual music

These musicians had a strange hookup to play each others' horns.

Bass level music

Another shot from SoundSpace. This musician was playing some very modern pieces.

Art and music -- an unbeatable combination.

I shot this photo at SoundSpace in the Blanton Museum on a recent Sunday. Her flute really resonated in that space.

Stuff left behind

A boot and a cup of coffee. Well, you take what you can, I guess.

RIP Geraldine

Geraldine, the Rainey Street guinea fowl, got run over recently. The Royal Blue Grocery in the area put her silhouette in their window. Here's her facebook page.

Getting to the core of the matter

This photographer was grabbing a picture of natural goodness at SoundSpace in the Blanton Museum on a recent Sunday.

Lost little bird

This sweet little parakeet was perched below a fence rail on Lavaca Street between 8th and 9th one recent afternoon. We couldn't begin to get it to come to us. It was obviously lost and I'll bet its owner is worried sick.

OK, kids-- line up now!

Forrest recently attended his 50th high school reunion. Here is the crew assembling for the group photo.

The latest panoramic shot

I thought I would update our loyal followers with a view from the south side of our building. Left to right, it's the Trammell Crow development, the new library and the Seaholm.

The old and the new

I caught this view of the new skyline looming over the old buildings on East Sixth the other day.

Modern times!

Here is a striking mew mural just off East Sixth Street. We spotted it on a recent walk.

Political Graffiti?

I am feeling a message here in this intricate graffiti.

Big Melt

Good Pop is a local brand of icy treats. This sculpture of a melting gigantic treat was near the Congress Avenue bridge the other day. FFP posed for scale. Apparently it is promoting an upcoming art show.

Movement

I was walking across the Great Lawn at Zilker Park and caught this shot with my iPhone the other day. A woman pushing her bike, a man walking with his little dog -- the scene was dreamlike when I looked at the photo. When I got home, I realized that this would be a nice choice for the Movement theme.
