You Say It's Your Birthday? - Wed., Nov. 20

Yes, today is my birthday. My day started out with a team meeting at the RV park. The whole group sang "Happy Birthday" to me with gusto. What a good start to the day!

As soon as the meeting was over, I headed up to Lady Bird Park to do a 5K (3.1 mi) Volksmarch along the Salado Creek Trail. That took an hour as I stopped to take a few photos and detoured into Los Patios shopping/dining area to look around before it opened for the day.

Another wildlife sighting.
 Los Patios Shopping/Dining area:


Brazier Restaurant has ponds on two sides of the restaurant. Beautiful setting in the trees.

 In the following photo, I love the way each leaf is changing color.

Fall beauty.
The following photo is part of the Salado Creek Trail. Glad I wasn't here when that tree crashed down!


More fall colors.
After my walk, I headed back to the 5er to vacuum and do laundry. But that's not all I did on my birthday. To be continued...
