Early Spring, Art Institute

Frozen Waterfall on Rooftop

Photographed this morning, after yesterday's snow, partial melt and re-freeze.

Breakfast At Tacodeli: Doggone Good

Photographed early morning at Tacodeli (the central branch), last month.

Tacodeli is a local taco place, serving breakfast and lunch.

For those unfamiliar with the breakfast taco, it is a bit of scrambled egg et cetera tucked into a small soft tortilla.  I prefer the corn tortillas.

The breakfast tacos are terrific, and so is the crowd, especially on the patio.

Water Lily

Photographed mid-May, in Austin.

Between Midnight and Morning

Photographed May 21, between midnight and morning.

Sometimes the deer like to bed down in the meadow outside our bedroom window. 

Coming Up For Air

Photographed lakeside, at Mozart's Coffee in Austin.

Mozart's Coffee is one of my favorite places to photograph people and other creatures, and it is a place where they've been okay with outdoor painting, too--at least early on an uncrowded Monday morning.

Deer In The Meadow

Photographed two days ago. 

These deer--and a few more--were making their rounds in the suburb, nibbling on tasty bits.

Doe On A Spring Morning

Photographed this cloudy and gray morning.
