Lunch on Lady Bird Lake

We had a nice Valentine's Day here in Austin, Texas last weekend. The weather was mild enough on the 14th that we went to the Hyatt for lunch then took a little stroll on Lady Bird Lake. My son was impressed by the views from the hotel's restaurant. He enjoyed watching the swans swimming by the docks...


The cabbages and kale gave the beds a touch of color along the pathways...


The weather was a bit crisp, but soon Spring flowers will fill the beds again.


Still, it was a perfect day to discover Mother Nature, and the sun, anew.

I hope you are finding joy in your garden.

"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures
the depth of his own nature."

from the chapter "The Ponds" in
Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
