Mayfield Park and Preserve
I visited the Mayfield Park and Preserve for the first time (and I’ve lived in the Austin area for how long?!) and found some beautiful scenes. The park is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Next time I’ll spend more time on the trails.

I was hoping the peacock would somehow shed just one tail feather while I was there, but that didn’t happen.
One feather for me?
I heard the peacocks before I saw them. What a piercing cry!
So blue!
Friday Fiction: The Passenger

“It’s amazing how much can go wrong on vacation,” he said, paying for a replaced filling. Later, looking out across the street, I saw him arguing with Peter. Peter, nicknamed Peter Plan, always had a sure thing going; all he needed was other people’s money. The man shoved Peter. Recovering his balance, Peter glanced up in my direction. I turned away.
This morning’s news announced the murder of a passenger from the ship. Yesterday’s patient. Had I seen something worth mentioning? I’ll call the police tonight. I opened my door to leave for work, only to find it blocked.
“Peter!”

Hope
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. ~ Desmond Tutu (b. 1931)
Light as hope
My Fan Club
My very own fan club. All they want is for me to bring the food and get out of the way! And those White-winged doves may sound docile with their cooing, but they don’t play well with others. I’m going to rethink that clichéd reference about the hawk and the dove, that’s for sure.
One of these things is not like the other
