wickedly sci-fi, b grade movie boot. Love it. At Freebird Boots.
Doesn't matter if I had to park a mile away. I found a meter-free spot with all day shade.
That's almost "unicorn status" near S. Congress Ave.
Collection of Air Stream trailers selling food, beverages, crafts and stuff.
Would be nice if it was cooler. Maybe hopping in January...
I was going to shoot this in "Monochrome." Really; I was. But the photo gods
came down from photo heaven and kept swatting my finger away from the shutter button
and zapped me with lightening until I came to my senses and set the camera correctly.
I don't even know what this is but it was "shiny" so I photographed it.
revision, revision. I keep trying to get this trailer shot right but.....
maybe it needs a bikini model out front.
trying without much success to be a street photographer.
Thinking of giving it all up to become an influencer.
instant surfing wardrobe shop. Park and sell.
hat clerk at Maufrais. Convincing. I almost left with a big ole Stetson.
But I couldn't find one made by Tilley....
coffee, flowers and cowboy hats. A pleasant combination.
a family that sits outside in 100° texting is destined to........?
kinda ditto.
urban landscape interlude.
These guys are so popular now in Austin that they get police motorcycle escorts,
can park across five handicap parking spots and people applaud when they show up....
It's ice!!!! Yay!!!
A commenter asked to see this sign lit up. I didn't know it was kinetic but it has two pairs of
legs. See below for captivating details. Or come to Austin and stare at the sign with me for
hours....
wishful thinking...
according to a clerk: tourist from out of town are the main customers.
Tourist from out of town love boots. Local shopping on S. Congress?
Not so much.
Amy's. Austins favorite ice cream shop. By far. Crush-ins. Yes.
now closed for a break...
But really!!! Could you imagine a barber shop in Austin, Texas that is NOT
air conditioned? Could you?
I sampled the rosé and the Tempranillo and bought one of each.
Not too sweet. Nicely light. Sampling in front of the Tiny Grocer.
no restaurant service. These are prices to get stuff in a styrofoam container and take home with you. Pretty reasonable. And just about any BBQ in central Texas is better than the best BBQ
anywhere else. I laugh when people from states like Tennessee talk about their BBQ....
we generally just call that "sweetened meat."
Hair salon signage. Love the marketing angle.
Nice day on the street. I hope you had a chance to get out, breathe deep and use your cameras.
All good.

Nice pics. That one guy, in coat and tie in 100 deg. heat and NO SOCKS? You must be in Austin. 8-)

"A commenter asked to see this sign lit up." That was me - thanks! Even cooler than I thought it would be, with the running legs.
