Hawk

My friend Jackie captured this hawk at Lou Neff Point on her walk around Lady Bird Lake. It is a red-tailed hawk according to Jackie and my amateur bird sleuthing on the Internet.

Dancing On Air

We attended the issue release party for L Style/G Style magazine Saturday night at Bass Concert Hall. This performance by the Blue Lapis Light dance company was a highlight of the evening. Their dancers dangled above the crowd and performed remarkable maneuvers while in the air. I took this shot with my iPhone.

Yes, We Had Fireworks

It was the Fourth of July after all. Thousands of people flocked downtown to watch the display. We watched from the 21st Floor of the Chase building. We were happy that the W Hotel does not block the club's view of the fireworks. It remains to be seen what future projects will do. But we enjoyed the show from air-conditioned comfort with some fun friends.

Proper Peacock Signage

We've mentioned the peacocks who live in Mayfield Park and roam at the end of 35th Street by our club. They've finally given them some warning signs. (I have put up a blowup in the inset.)

Shop Window Refleciton

Some of my favorite shop window scenes are those of Uncommon Objects in SoCo. Fun place to shop, too.

Hill Country and Lake Austin

I think this photo (thanks to my friend Jackie for it) epitomizes the landscape of the Hill Country with the Little Colorado River (we just call it the Colorado here) meandering through the hills of scrubby vegetation with various dams controlling its flood fury and providing lakes for recreation.

Reflecting

Today is a City Daily Photo theme day. The theme is reflections. I make a lot of reflection work on another blog but for this I decided to show our home, the 360 Condominiums, reflected in Shoal Creek.Other blogs around the world participate in this theme day.
