I lived in Austin for a few months long ago, attending a high school Theatre Summer Camp at UT…
I remember Mt. Bonnell being a pretty popular make-out spot!
ahem… moving on…

Belated thanks for being Austin’s unofficial tour guide of late. Great photos and graphic reminder of how much lawn so many folks are still supporting. And today, if we do get that one hard freeze predicted, the nipped plantings in our non-lawn gardens will remind us of why some people prefer grassy spaces to beds with more susceptible biomass. Here’s hoping all the improvised coverings we employ do the trick so once our temps return to more our wintry norm we’ll still have beauty to enjoy!

Pam, Beautiful views of one of my favorite cities! I am enjoying your tours around the area! Now if only the summers weren’t so darn hot…Gail ps Nashvillians get into a similar frenzy when snow is predicted…the grocery shelves get emptied of milk and bread.

Pam,the view is gorgeous, save for the uninspired garden in the last shot! I wish you could get your hands on it.

A perfect house in Italy! Beautiful shots of the river btw.

But just think what you could do if you were set free in that formal garden space with it’s great bones! We are facing almost that same forecast, although we’ve already been hovering at or slightly below the freezing mark the last couple of nights. Possible snow flurries over the weekend…the words have me worried…my wounds are still fresh from last year. Hope yours isn’t too bad!

Great photos, as usual. This is one place I haven’t been in Austin. It’s a beautiful view.
I love historical markers. Some day, I’m going to drag Mr. P. on a tour of them through Texas.

Whoa, I can’t believe how much development has gone on in that area. It’s been a long time since I’ve been up there. It doesn’t look like the dreamy verdant shore it was in my youth! :-)
