Today was the second part of my trip back to Austin. That being said I had fully intended to wake up early and hit the road, needless to say, that did not happen. By the time I got on the road, it had already begun to get dark and the sunset was truly beautiful. However, since I had already taken a picture of a sunset I was waiting for something else. The last few nights I noticed that the moon came out a few hours after it got dark; there is also a bridge that I was to cross about the same time. I was imagining how the picture was going to look, how I was going to setup the camera, and how I was going to frame it. Sadly, when I got to the bridge the yellow moon was nowhere in sight. I was so upset. And so, I continued driving to Austin and as I passed the Burnett I spotted a smaller bridge with ducks and quaint little lights.

P.S.

The stupid moon came out 40 minutes after passing the spot where I wanted it.

(I took a picture of it but it did not make it on to the blog. It will be on Facebook in an album labeled “Runner-ups”.)
