Austin Vibe…
I love Austin, Texas. I wish there was a better, more articulate way of saying it, but that’s the truth. I love to just BE in Austin. I think it has a ‘vibe’ all of its own. I love to go down around 1st Street or Congress Avenue and just people watch. Well, and dog watch as well I suppose. People come out to exercise or play with their pets and just relax and enjoy the day or unwind after work. I can’t explain it really it’s…

Pride in Workmanship…
You know? There is alot of awesome architecture around Austin, Texas and what I guess you would call the “I-35 Corridor. But take a closer look at the photograph below. When I saw this all I could say was “Really?”… I wonder what happened. Either the shorter people called in sick or maybe a shift in the earth’s crust? I understand there is a fine line to what can be considered ‘artistic license’ – is that what that is? Can you imagine running down this fire escape…

True Grit…
I have to admit that the remake of True Grit was alright. Jeff Bridges is no John Wayne, however, he was a very believable Rooster Cogburn. I’m fortunate enough to live near where part of the movie was filmed in Granger, Texas. I just wanted to share a photograph of the building where “Mattie Ross” had the discussion about horse trading. I think it’s fun to see the place where a movie was filmed and then see how it looks on the big screen. Of course on…

Veterans…
God Bless the people that serve our country. God Bless the fallen, and families of the fallen, at Fort Hood. God Bless the veterans who have seen and felt too much – and those that have bled and carry the scars of our country for the rest of their days for the sake of our freedom. God bless the wives and children that wait for their husbands and fathers to come home for they also serve. To all of the veterans that protect our freedom. Thank you…

Georgetown Art in the Square…
The first annual Georgetown Art in the Square was one of the most awesome free events I’ve ever been to and was held October 17th and 18th. The Square was transformed in to an outdoor art gallery with over 150 artists and craftsman of every variety. Sponsored by the City of Georgetown, New York Times, HEB, and the Arts and Culture Board the event was 2 days of arts and culture that was absolutely amazing.

Georgetown Texas…
I live in Georgetown, Texas North of Austin. I worked in Austin and commuted 47 miles to work. I count that as a blessing as now I have the opportunity to find work in the town I love and live in. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art They have a wonderful downtown square that is very active! Restaraunts, shops, boutiques, and an active theater that puts on fantastic plays! It has been so long since I’ve seen a live play and it’s quite an experience to watch.…

Waiting…
I really love aircraft and pass this one everyday on my way to work and on my way home. It’s always pointed towards the sunset and I told myself one of these days I’m going to get a nice photograph of that Beechcraft 300 with an awesome sunset going on in front of it. Image Copyright © Barrett Photo Art As it happened today I noticed the clouds doing that “ray” thing and pulled in to the airport just in time to snap a couple shots of…
