Views of the Neighborhood – COVID Accomodation
With nothing better to report in the neighborhood, I decided to go out and do a personal investigation of how restaurants, stores, and small eating places are handling the COVID situation. This is not a Pulitzer Prize-worthy post, but hey, beats a blank page. So I got the bus. We have a keg of margaritas, […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Potpourri Part Two
Yes, again this week some random shots that have nothing in common. At least I’m not going to ask you to walk around. We will take the Bentley Turbo Convertable dealer loaner for a spin. So grab a water and we’ll be off. This is a shot of Lake Travis in a drought condition. The […]
Views of the Neighborhood and a Surprise
Another slow day in the neighborhood, so I thought I would catch up on my top of the mailbox photo collection. Just as I was finishing up, I came upon a surprise. The car in the foreground is a 1954 Cheverlot Bel-Aire. The one with the hood up is a 1967 Pontiac GTO. The green […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Potpourri
Since there are no events in Lakeway, finding things to show becomes more difficult over time. Today I thought I would just tale some random photos and label the post potpourri. Seems like an easy way out. Thanks for joining me today. A bunch of wildlife showed up on bike ride. A squirrel cut in front […]

The Lakeway Arts Committee is responsible for the installation. A view of the esplanade where the sculptures are installed. The first sculpture. You will note the powerlines since we […]
Views of the Neighborhood – The Outing
The time finally came for me to go on an outing that was not doctor related. I know this may not sound like a big deal, but I was very happy to leave the neighborhood just for a little while. I hope you don’t mind that I’m dragging you along. Our first stop is..wait for […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Signs, Signs, Everywhere Are Signs
If you read my Friday post, you know that the pandemic is making Views harder to come by. So now I’m doing my best. I thought I use the theme of signs. Also, there is a video of the title song at the end. Hope you enjoy the walk. Sign of needing to move. Sign […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Fading Flowers
Today we are taking a stroll around the neighborhood to look at the last of the blooms. The summer heat is upon us, and so most of the flowers have finished, and the neighborhood settles into coping with the heat. Hope you enjoy. A very large pink Crape Myrtle. It hasn’t started dropping its blooms, […]
Views of the Neighborhood – Things in the Front Yard
Today on our walk around the neighborhood, we are going to see things that are in front yards. Okay, not so exciting, but maybe you’ll see something that you will like. Get your mask since the Saharan dust is still here. If you’d rather stay, help yourself to the sangria and crostinis. Our first item […]
