Blanton Museum of Art and more Lady Bird Lake, Austin

Downtown, on the UT campus, we enjoyed the Blanton Museum.  It houses a very nice Renaissance collection and modern art is always fun:


This entire hall is a work of art in blue and whit acrylic

 We have now covered every inch of trail around Lady Bird Lake and have certainly had some nice walks and enjoyed the sights.  It is a shame about the amount of garbage in the lake but we did see a volunteer organization down there doing is best to help alleviate the ongoing issue with resource help from the city:





 A low water dam crosses the east end of the lake:

 Tis the season!







Congress Bridge, the largest urban bat colony (over a million)lives under this bridge in the summertime!
