Luna Light

Linda took this terrific shot of the moon over downtown Austin from our balcony a couple of nights ago. We love the ever-changing view of the sky from our condo.

Rockin Sidewalk Blues

These guys were pickin' and grinnin' at 6th and Congress today.  Hey, we're the "Live Music Capital of the World," y'all!

Gospel Marathon Morning

One more shot from the recent marathon -- this group, complete with a horn section, was rocking the gospel in front of City Hall near the start of the race.  Austin is called "The Live Music Capital of the World" for good reason.

Vintage Boots

Yesterday (Sunday) there was a market near Snack Bar with lots of vintage boots for sale.

Spring comes to the Capitol Grounds

This Redbud tree is in full bloom. It's one of our early harbingers of spring. I took this last Sunday. Well into spring in Central Texas! The statue in the background is featured here.

Heading for home.

One more shot from the marathon last Sunday, looking east down E. 11th St. and is the last before the short home stretch.  The runners were turning south onto Congress Avenue and sprinting towards the finish line at the 8th St. intersection.  This photo was taken towards the tail end of the race.  If we had walked over about an hour before this, there would have been an absolute wall of people in this shot. Thanks to some high technology gadgets, the announcer was able to boom out the names of some of the runners at the finish just by looking at the numbers on their shirts.

Cold front blowing thorugh

When I left for my morning walk yesterday, it was 70 degrees.  As I was crossing the Pfluger Bridge and heading for home, this front was billowing in from the west.  I'll guarantee the temperature had dropped by ten degrees by the time I got to our building.
