A Night Stroll in Hyde Park

Hyde Park is an eclectic little neighborhood in Austin, filled with charming cottages and unique restaurants.
Want to stroll along with me while I practice my night shots?


Just the right touch of Christmas decorations.



This vintage Mercedes fit right in with the rest of the neighborhood.



I just like neon signs.



While I snapped away, Tom and Daniel caught up on the neighborhood news.



Knitted pole scarves were everywhere!



Famous for their vegetarian and vegan food. 



Cheap transportation.



A restaurant on every corner.
I want to try them all!



Do you see the face? Well, at least the eyes? 
It's amazing the difference a scarf makes....



Another knitted pole scarf!



We ate here in celebration of Daniel's friend's graduation from UT. 
Yummy Italian food!

What's that you say? You want to see photos from the graduation?
Well, okay. Here are a couple of my favorites...



These messages caught my eye. 
I wish them good luck!



One of my favorite shots of the night. 
I don't know who they are, but I'm glad I captured it...
A universal image of proud parents.

  8. You really captured the essence of Austin! Great photos. The pole scarves are my favorite as well as the last shot. :) I tried to convince my daughter that Austin was just as funky and cool as Portland. She agreed, but said it's still too hot here. Couldn't argue with that. :/
