come on, baby! photo safari! (Austin style…meaning weird)

So, I had a change of plans. I decided to postpone my running until EARLY tomorrow morning (SO incredibly rare for me since I’m a night/midnight runner at heart.) I would rather not be attacked or kidnapped on the poorly lit (due to nightfall) 4.5 mile track between the hotel, river, and downtown. (Some of you follow me on Twitter & Facebook, so you should recognize the kidnapping reference from earlier…yeah….)

This wicked cool photo safari happened due to a wrong turn.

Seriously.

This is yet another time where I am amazed at God’s providence, even in the “little” things.

What you will see below is raw iPhone 4 footage…with camera shake and all. No editing (except for the two IG shots). Also, to keep the flow of this post easy on the eyes, I will refrain from posting text in between photos. If a message is to be shared, it will be in the caption box connected to the image.

Enjoy! And please leave me some love (a.k.a. comment, ask questions, share an Austinian quote (or Austenian…love me some P&P!), make me laugh, etc.) I LOVE comments! It pleases me muchly when I know y’all are engaged with my ramblings.

I’d like to think her name was Helga, but alas, I forget her true name. So…Helga it is! This lady changed the course of Texas history. Let’s just say things went BOOM! And our capital is still in Austin because of it. Hooray!

I want to see the Hitchcock film! Any of you film buffs out there recommend it?

I would definitely categorize this as weird. They move. It’s gross. (This was a sushi bar. I love sushi. But this is too fresh for my taste.)

I was walking briskly passed this place for the Capitol when I noticed something incredibly cool in the window. What drew me in led me to the discovery of something very, very cool! Let me just say, my new enlightenment has led me to major excitement. So much excitement that I simply must share it with you. But you’ll have to come back soon to see the results in another blog post. I’m telling you…you cannot miss it!!
