Touring

I've missed the Modern Homes Tour around Austin. It was yesterday! And yesterday I toured Austin but not what I have been wanting to snoop around. Mainly this house by Cottam Hargrave (Dezeen write-up) and surely a tossing of others and what was I thinking? I'll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking about cake. All day.

Another tour I'd like to take in the near future is to Dripping Springs, just, um, west of here. But besides the fancy famousBBQ place, I'm not sure where to go. There is a Buddhist temple and the faintest grizzle of that west Texas landscape.

OK FINE. I'll do it.

Intrigue at Formosa

Here today are a couple of photos from the Elizabet Ney Museum in Hyde Park, in Austin. Ney was a smartie, a foreigner, a sculptor. When it's warm and when they've finished remodeling I will venture inside.

See future post.

"In 1870 they moved to the United States and in 1872 to Texas, which they liked for its vastness and its high regard for freedom." A touch of romance in an otherwise dutiful landmark sign!

Making eyes with west Texas.
