Sculptures, Texas 2010

July 26, 2010



 

What an absolutely lovely spot!  The Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum is a must see for art lovers in Austin.  Charles Umlauf donated his sculptures and grounds to the city of Austin.  The grounds are beautiful with shaded path ways and benches and water falls and lily pond.  But the sculptures are what fascinated me.  The man has a way with detail that gives his figures their striking personalities.  I focused mainly on the faces of the people but their poses were as telling as their faces.  I see many more visits for me to this special place.



I visited Krause Springs last week.  What a great spot!  Most folks go for the water but I found their “Butterfly Garden” beautiful and fascinating.


 

I was under the impression that the Texas wildflowers were only a spring thing.  What I am finding is different wildflowers bloom throughout the summer months also.  My guess is when the rains stop and the  dryness begins the flowers my dry up too.  Right now the roadsides are  covered with these sunflower like yellow  flowers.
