Inner City Sand

These dogs and their master's daughter were having fun in the sand the other day.

Sandlot volleyball

These young folks had a spirited game going on when we walked by here a few weeks ago.

Three lovely and lively dogs

These three dogs were enjoying the sun and fresh air at the Great Lawn the other day.

Skyline redux

Yeah, well, I like to update my photos of the skyline once in a while. I love our town.

Mushroom madness

Strange -- someone threw out a bunch of mushrooms on the Great Lawn in Zilker Park a few days ago. I don't think that they picked them off of a pizza!

A cloudy day in Austin town

What a marvelous skyline in my hometown - it wasn't like this when I was growing up here! These clouds gave the scene a dramatic feel. But I was able to make it home without being rained on.

Keep off the grass

The curators of the Great Lawn are always trying to get one area of grass or another green before the next big festival comes along to trample it down again.

Pretty sky and skyline

Yes, I post a lot of these; but the sky was especially nice on this afternoon.

Winter? What winter!

I took this pano on the Great Lawn in Zilker Park the other day. That is my blogging buddy in the foreground. It will get greener in a couple of months.

Gear tableau

A group of guys were exercising in the park a few Saturdays ago. This batch of stuff they left out for rehydration made a nice composition.

Sitting pretty!

Here is a shot of my partner in life taking a photo of a man taking a photo of his dog.

The Great Lawn, the big skyline

We love walking across the Great Lawn at Zilker Park. It provides a pretty contrast to the skyline in the distance.

Great lawn at dawn

I couldn't let the summer go by without posting another shot of our Great Lawn at Zilker Park. I love walking over there in the morning and taking some time to stare at our skyline framed by natural beauty.
