Austin in the Spring

A couple of photos I took near the Lady Bird Lake jogging trail. Sorry res, no desert here.

This is near the Mopac bridge. A local running shoe store has tables set up here every single day with big jugs of ice water. Delightful!

A leafy creek just waiting for a hobbit, or possible a beaver, to wander by.

Since you mentioned Mopac, I'm guessing they renamed the Town Lake Hike & Bike trail. I haven't lived there in quite a while. Or is this a different trail altogether?

In any case, it's lovely!

They did! renamed it in honor of Lady Bird Johnson (not the trail, the whole lake).

Did U know that she was involved in the original development of the trail back in the 70's??

That's so cool! No, I didn't know she was involved. The wildflowers and general beautification of Texas, yes.

She was pretty awesome.

Don't care about the honorary degrees... I'd just like the $5 million a year salary. :-)
