Lady Bird Lake


I have just been reading the Austin American Statesman online. They have renamed our Town Lake running through Austin.
We walked many a mile on the Hike and Bike Trail on our Town Lake.
So what, they have given the lake a new name. It sure sounds better then town lake. Ms. Lady Bird sure was a driving force to help make Texas beautiful. I agree to its new name, but reading the comments in the paper are running about half and half for and against.
So now, we go to Austin and at dusk dark, we watch the bats fly from under the Congress Ave. Bridge over Lady Bird Lake!!

Really a sight to see. The picture is of Duane and Michael at Town Lake, with the Congress Ave. Bridge in the background, waiting for the bats to fly. Wonder what year that was? Do you know?

That was in June of 1996. Before I realized how bad I looked in an old lawnmower hat and large glasses.
