4th of July
Went down to Auditorium Shores for the fireworks this year. First experience and it was a memorable one. About 100,000 people attended, but as Austin has that little big city vibe, it didn’t feel crammed. My favorite part – the Austin symphony performed before and during the fireworks.

A Little Cell Phone Photojournalism
Took another walk tonight – decided to switch it up a little and document my walk via iPhone photography. (; Found this under the Lamar Street bridge.
