Merry Christmas from Austin

We went downtown past Wednesday for a vacation amusement by Texas troubadour Robert Earl Keen. Since we were successful the neighborhood, we strolled down 2nd Street to view Kempelen’s Owls, a brace of owl sculptures by the Butterfly Bridge astatine Central Library.

I adore these moveable owls, but I was atrocious to spot that their amber eyes and modular perches were not lit up, as they erstwhile were.

Somebody, spell alteration those airy bulbs!

We admired the Jenga Tower’s unsettling architecture…

…and took successful the presumption of Shoal Creek flowing nether the Butterfly Bridge.

After the show, we drove implicit to Zilker Park to instrumentality a rotation nether the Zilker Holiday Tree, an yearly tradition.

Stand nether the strands of colored lights fanning retired from the apical of a Moonlight Tower, 155 feet up. Take the hands of your loved one, look up, and spin!

I situation you not to laugh, but effort not to autumn down! Merry Christmas from Austin, y’all!
