Vanishing Texas River Cruise

It was very kind of Bekah to organize and plan for the Vanishing Texas River Cruise not long after i arrived in Texas. The ecological cruise covered part of Lake Buchanan and Colorado River Canyon, provided birds watching opportunity.

We were lucky to spot a bald eagle resting on a tree but it was just too far away for us to see clearly. Gulls are everywhere waiting to be fed and the kids were enjoying themselves throwing food and see the gulls gracefully catching it.

If you look careful enough, you will see nests on the trees

Mayfield Park Peacocks

Mayfield Park in Austin is a quiet and serene park situated near the bustling downtown of Austin. It offers a nice environment for people to relax and frolick along with the peacocks that are roaming wild!

Look around and it is not uncommon to spot the male peacocks strutting and flaunting their glorious feathers trying to impress the female peacocks. Be warned though... They are not only proud, they are LOUD! I got shocked by the sudden outburst of deafening sound by a male peacock while busy taking photos!
