AUSTIN

My sole reason for visiting Austin was to spend some time at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Glory be.....I must be doing something right!  I hit the jackpot.  Or at least a Triple Header.  Not only was the Center celebrating its annual Wildflower Festival, it had just finished a garden sculpture installation, and an Arts & no Crafts show was underway.  Come marvel with me at this lovely tribute to Mother Nature's Spring bounty.
One of a trio of resident Red Eared Sliders.  "I AM smiling, and no, I don't eat pennies OR dimes"!




A Garden of Eden wouldn't be complete without a snake!


I not only experienced some lens envy, I wished I could still stoop, twist and bend like that!!
