Gallows Humor

El Arroyo (a fine purveyor of Tex Mex, particularly barbecued chicken Tex Mex) has this sign where they offer amusing sayings. Caught this one a few days ago.

Albus Dumbledog

Meet Albus Dumbledog. He was dining al fresco at the food trailers on South Congress the other day.

Memories

This is Cisco's Restaurant. Back in the day (a few decades ago) it was known as Cisco's Bakery and, while even then it was a restaurant pioneering the Mexican breakfast treats of Huevos Rancheros and Migas, it also had a display of pan dulce just inside the door. We were walking by the other day and I snapped this picture. Haven't visited for a long time but many years ago on the morning of our wedding day, FFP and I took our parents here for breakfast. Yes, seriously. Must revisit soon for old time's sake.

Sunset Light

We were walking across the pedestrian bridge at Mopac the other day as the sun sank low. It made a particularly interesting reflection on, from left to right, Frost Bank, Spring, the 360, the W and the Austonian. No enhancements, just a cropped point and shoot photo.

Happy 5th, Austin, Texas Daily Photo

Five years ago today we posted the first entry in this blog to become a part of the worldwide City Daily Photo family. I've randomly picked a few pictures (out of about 1800) and made a collage for today. There's a small nod to the three major contributors on the lower right side. I don't know how much longer this will continue but five years is a long time to do anything. And tomorrow we'll start on the next period in the life of Austin, Texas Daily Photo.

Truth is the Thing With Feathers

Snapped this on West Fifth near Mopac. The bird is crowned and says 'truth.' Don't know what to make of it.

Natural Cake

This is a cake display at Mr. Natural on E. Cesar Chavez. They also serve food and sell health foods and drink.
