End of the MetroRail line while they rip up the road around the station at the convention center.

Downtown can sometimes seem like a bit of a spectacle: new construction, partiers enjoying Austin, scooters everywhere. But there are still a few quiet, abandoned corners not quite rebuilt, like this place on the way to dinner.

Sounds like progress is being made to get the Zilker Zephyr running again. It has been closed for nearly a year. Snapped this photo of the unused tracks last weekend while we were walking on the trail.

Thinking of “scale” earlier tonight while I was driving, the sky lit up in color. And then minutes later when I had parked the car it was over. Just caught the very end of the sunset for this shot.

Somewhere up there in the sky… space. I was so busy today I almost skipped the photo challenge, but noticed this photo I shot quickly a few nights ago from the Congress Avenue bridge.

Scattered seats in the Apple Store, opposing any kind of symmetry or order.

More coffee for the photo challenge. Cool drink outside Bakery Lorraine while we waited for our Apple Store appointment to see if the dead Apple TV was fixable. Spoiler: it wasn’t.

Nice spot to rest while walking the dog today.

For today’s photo challenge: balance. My glasses balancing on the “nosey” holder at my desk. I got this as a present a few years ago and still use it every day.

I usually order an iced coffee, but need a little warmth on a cold morning. Coffee at Red Horn.

“Rise up! I will fight for this land, but there’s only one man who can give us a command so we can rise up.”

I don’t have any particular attachment to Sticker Mule, and in fact once tried to switch to another sticker company, but they make it really easy to re-order stickers. New batch just arrived for IndieWebCamp Austin!

My go-to smoothie lately: one frozen banana, frozen blueberries, a little plain yogurt, peanut butter, sometimes kale, and almond milk. Apparently everything we buy is HEB-branded now.

The sign outside Cenote on a rainy afternoon. Coffee and work on resuming the Micro Monday newsletter.

Enjoying the Oscars. I like that they do best animated feature early, but then there’s always a bit of a lull until some of the later categories.

Today’s photo challenge prompt: contrast. Finally got some AirPods. They’re great, but still kind of miss when one pair of headphones could work reliably on all devices.

A sign above. We’ve been watching them expand this HEB with grocery pick-up for months and it almost looks ready.

It snowed last night. Still a little left on some of the plants outside.

This could’ve been for “reflect” or today’s prompt “hide”. Our new sticker Baby Yoda hiding on the back window of the car.

“Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” Feel lucky I found a nice spot at Summer Moon this morning.

Trees reflecting in my car window. Today’s prompt for the photo challenge makes me think of the Mirror Project from the early 2000s.

Day 2 of the photo challenge. A few months ago we impulse bought this bucket list book of 1000 places because of the great photos to inspire future travel. Beautiful sights like this shot of the Milky Way from Arizona.

First day in the 30-day photo challenge. I like how you can see the capitol building in the distance from the pedestrian bridge, despite the new buildings crowding out the skyline. It’s almost like there was a planned open space.
