A few photos from a yesterday’s walk down Shoal Creek into downtown Austin.

This is a bee hive that the city covered up. The story I heard was that a couple of people working on the trail near the tree were stung multiple times and needed medical attention. The city is planning on moving the hive. It’s blocked off right now and we have to walk way around the tree to continue on the trail.

This dog and the person it owns were out for a nice walk and a round of ball tossing and retrieving. Then the sprinklers came on at the old City of Austin power plant. The dog was way more interested in playing in the water than returning the ball.

I believe this is the last of the Austin Music Hall.

Find your place and grow.

Saw this deer as we arrived at the entrance to Lost Maples State Nature Area.
