More areas of interest along the east side of the Lady Bird Lake trail.

Fence graffiti.

Art in support of the fight against cancer.

But as soon as I took that photo, I noticed two people sleeping on the side. Not sure how much hope they have.

If we all lived in these apartments, we wouldn’t have to drive to access the lake or the trail.



The hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake is very popular, especially between the Ann W. Richards Bridge on Congress Avenue and the MoPac bridge. That’s about a five-mile loop. But the trail is approximately 10-miles long, with the other distance spanning east from Congress Avenue to Pleasant Valley Road and the Longhorn Dam. This section is a lot less busy and it’s a very nice trail. That’s the route my hiking group took the last time we were there.

This is underneath the IH35 bridge. Maybe this is his favorite fishing spot. Shh! Don’t tell anyone.





Walking around Lady Bird Lake recently, we (my hiking group) passed a couple of wildflower pastures. One had several of these blooming plants. After I got home, it took me a few minutes to find it online: Basket Flower, Centaurea americana.





The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is in Belton, Texas. Our urban hike crossed through the campus.
