A few photos from walking around Lady Bird Lake.




I saw this vehicle just before a hike. Unless the vehicle and the driver have birthdays in the same month, this sign should change twice a year to be accurate: once for the driver’s birthday and once for the vehicle’s birthday.

Changes twice a year?
Did I photograph the vehicle? No! Bad photographer! And it was gone when I finished my hike.

Falling Leaves
The forest isn’t silent, not really
Falling leaves twist in the wind
Crinkling as they descend
Their echoes bouncing from branch to branch
In a secret language of changing seasons, color
The pine needle floor fades my footfalls to
A whisper of a memory as the path behind disappears
In the diminishing sunlight
I understand how one gets lost in the forest
I know why one so chooses
