Lunch at favorite Thai spot.

Realized that while my family is all spread out geographically, I had pictures and texts that related to food.  Guess we just like to eat!

Day 568 - Los Lonely Boys


The last "Blues on the Green" concert in Zilker for this summer.  Los Lonely Boys played.  What a treat for a Wednesday evening.  Struggled a bit with the crowd and keeping my camera steady, so wasn't completely happy with most of my shots, but it was a great night for music regardless!

Day 564 - Bad Hair Day?


More hot weather today.  Went in late afternoon to walk around one of my favorite places, Zilker Gardens.  Several Cardinals were enjoying the small man-made stream in the gardens.  Didn't seem to mind me being there!

Day 562 - College is Calling

These two met at the beginning of their freshman year...and through the drama of high school they have stayed the best of friends.  Tonight, just a few days from heading off to different universities, I take this picture. I hope their friendship will be everlasting as they are very good for each other.  Whatever the future brings, I know they will both be amazing!  Also, Jenga is awesome!

Day 559 - Game Table

Thanks to Sabrina for spending time with us...and much love to Christine and Matt who we don't see enough.  But most of all, glad to have my three kids in one room around our "Puzzle Table" that contains many memories.

Day 558 - Dusty Dog

Another week of no rain and triple digit temperatures makes for a pretty dry dog park.  These picture accent how dusty and dry everything is.   However, if you have a ball, dogs will play only to cool off later in the lake.

Hope we get some rain soon!

Day 557 - Daybreak & Balloons

 
Went to Mansfield Damn this morning with a photography group to take some photos of hot air balloons taking flight.  Very early, but it was worth it.  Couldn't decide between these two pictures, so I am posting them both.  I like the balloon one as you can see a bit of the fire heating up the air if you look closely.  Used my 35mm 1.8 & 70-200 2.8 for these shots.
