I'll Have Olives with That

The Cedar Bar and Restaurant on Brazos has some giant olives on top to the building. They are supposedly famous for Mexican Martini. I wouldn't know because I only drink margaritas at a venerable Austin restaurant called Fonda San Miguel and I wouldn't go with the Martini version with olives anyway! This restaurant had one or two other locations. I think all or part of the building might have been physically moved with it.

What is That? Donut!

There is a new resident on Fifth Street. Originally only available from a trailer Gourdough's Donuts is now has a brick and mortar location downtown (although I notice there is a trailer inside the courtyard). I've yet to try one of their big, fat donut (sweet or savory) concoctions. Soon!

Austin Bike Zoo

These amazing contraptions are part of the "Austin Bike Zoo." It requires a lot of people to pedal it. Here you see it in a resting state at the Honk Texas Band Fest in Republic Park last weekend. A lady was taking a photo of them, like I was.

Tipping Cows?

Remember all the cows? Well when they disappeared from public spaces they were auctioned off. Someone who runs a business on Exposition bought this one but back in February I think it was a victim of shifting soil and was at a jaunty angle. Haven't noticed lately whether they got their yard art secured better in its new home.

Morning Glory and Death

Thought the duality of this cow would be a good Halloween picture.

Armadillo Cow

I know we are all tired of plastic cows. But this is too funny. Armadillo Cow. Actually labeled 'Armoodillo Cow!"

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.

Boots Cow

Spied this one near the Convention Center and thought, what the heck, I'll show you yet another cow.

Bats on the Bridge...Cow

I like the image of people on the bridge watching the bats. Reminds me of this wonderful picture our friend Jackie took.

Eye Cowumba

This gal was 'sighted' at the Long Center (parking garage in background). Yeah, Eye Cowumba.

Bevo

Wonder if this fellow (a photo op in the University Co-op parking lot) is aware of all those cows?

All Too Apropos

This cow, on South Congress, is called blazing cow or something like that. Given the horrible wild fires in the surrounding counties and the continued lack of rain in Central Texas...it's all too appropriate.

TaCow!

TaCow appeared in front of the Garrido's restaurant in our building while we were gone on vacation. Love it.

Moo-Saic Cow

Spied at One Congress in August.

Stevie Shares the Shores

FFP caught this cow near the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue on August 18 on his morning walk. One day we will have to figure out these wandering cows.

Discow

This cow is done up just like a disco ball, reflecting her surroundings near Whole Foods.

Keep It Weird

This cow, near Schlotzsky's on South Lamar has lots of Austin icons...including bats in her ears.

Colorful Cow Grazes at City Hall

Captured this gal on the north side of City Hall.

Cookie Cow

This cow is in the tiniest park in Austin (sign shown yesterday) and honors Girl Scout Cookies...she's covered with them.

Still with the Cows

There are so many cows! Don't even have pictures of them all either.
