When you walk a bazillion blocks in 105-degree weather, a local ice cream stand is a MUST. In Austin, we had to walk to South Congress to find Amy’s Ice Creams. Yummm…
How amused was I at the guy who rode past us on a bike with a bottle of wine docked in the water bottle holder?! Very.
One of the things I was told I must do in Austin was to watch 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats fly out from underneath the Congress Street Bridge. You’ll want to click on these pictures and make ‘em bigger. Those little suckers are fast, so in the photo on the right (of the water under the bridge), just notice the slight smudgy-looking swirl that comes out from the underneath the concrete of the bridge (top left) and arcs downward and back under the bridge (bottom right). Tour boats, kayaks and one lone rower were all crowded onto Town Lake to watch the evening’s nature show.
Good morning from Apple Annie’s, with a cup of coffee in hand! This place made Sarah and I so happy once we found it, we ate there TWICE in one day. Seriously. I wouldn’t kid you about great food…
At Zax (on our way to Barton Springs) I was inspired to exercise my inner photographer:
I blame the creative juices on the great food, and that pint of Real Ale’s Fireman’s #4. Yummm.
Jen, Love all of the creative photos. You have such a wonderful eye and the ability to catch views of the world around us that simply go unnoticed.
Thank you for sharing!

I’m most IMPRESSED that he’s got a wine bottle in the holder! Awesome!!!
