Jackson David was over for a visit tonight as his parents attended a concert (here in the music capital). I tried to put him down for a nap several times but he would out fox me. Finally when he said he needed an apple sauce snack I decided it was a chance to capture some developmental video on m i-phone, the use of the spoon! As you can see he has some mastery over this introductory utensil......next, the fork.....

Jackson Ball Austin

On Saturday, Jackson's Dad Jon played 3 on 3 basketball in an outdoor tournament. Jackson couldn't sit still and watch. He had his ball and he threw it, kicked it, carried it and hugged it for the three hour tour. In all he had a ball and possibly a future in ball related sports.

Austin Texas Baking Fun

Hey Nancy.......what are you baking into those biscuits??? It seems like the kitchen is often a happy place!

Austin spring frond Texas

A sure sign of spring is a dramatic unfurling of a frond from the earthen floor. It seems one day it's chilly cold and the next only summers soon arrival.

Recently Deb and I walked through Zilker Gardens on a radiant afternoon. When we reached the ponds a fellow was there with his tripod and SRL camera and waiting quietly. I asked him what he was intending to shot and he pointed to koy circling the lily pond. As I was passing a small school came round and I caught this single pic....the koy are aptly named.

Jackson at the Galaxy Cafe after seeing Sesame Street live and talking about Elmo and the number of the day being "3"! He was too fired up to want to talk but he is gaining an explosion of new words.....

Bowl by i-phone

This picture is not too remarkable except it was the first one I took with my i-phone. I downloaded an app called HD for phone and snapped the first thing I saw....the patio bowl filled with rain water and leaves. I am not sure my Nikon D-80 would have done much better and I cant make a call with it.

Philosophers Stone Austin

At Zilker pool there is a popular sculpture by Gleena Goodacre called the Philosophers Stone. It stands just outside the Zilker pool and is life size. Children often climb up to sit in the discussion and have their picture taken. I enjoyed this light just before dusk.

Jackson on 'phones

Jackson loves to watch Yo Gabagaba on my computer. The headphones may be a bit much however as he was searching for the source of the sound seemingly disconnected from the viewing screen. He protested when I tried to take them as he truly enjoyed this new dimension of home entertainment....oh no, what have we created now?

Blanton Musuem

One of the most interesting aspects of visiting the Blanton is the people. Here on the UT Campus is Deb about to ascend to the second floor exhibits. She turned around for this quick pic with the iphone.
