La Luna

Moonrise November 2.

following a new trail

I decided to take a new direction at the park today, away from the concrete paths and what I've already seen. There were animal tracks in the drying creek bed, and I still can't figure out which animals they were made by (besides deer).

Eva & Maya

cold front clears the skies

A mild cold-front swept into San Antonio and cleared the hazy, humid skies, to show beautiful light at sunset. Mosquitoes were biting everything they could, but these photos are worth the itching next week. Next time I'll zip the hoodie up earlier and bring the OFF.

Campus Tour & Employee Development Day

Moody Learning Center, seen here Wednesday, Sept. 30, features rebar enforced concrete walls that were built to withstand the weight of books. The building also served as a bomb shelter for the city during the Cold War.
Faculty participate in a game to build team-work and cooperation.


Below the bridge between McCreless and McAllister are covered up doors that lead to caves. Because of the relative dryness, the caverns were rented to the city to store official records.


The fault line along the Edwards Plateau accounts for the higher elevation of McAllister seen here Wednesday, Sept. 30.

The northeast gate of the Koehler house. The Koehler house is full of historical unknowns. Immigrating to the United States from Germany in 1872, Otto Koehler built his house in 1901 with an unobstructed view of the city and his City Brewery, now Pearly Brewery, where "he could determine whether his employees were hard at work by the color of the smoke issuing from the brewery's stacks," according to the Koehler Cultural Center Web page


Construction on Nail Technical Center.

The Francis R. Scobee Planetarium Wednesday, Sept. 30. The planetarium features a new Digistar 3 HD projector and D&G Optical telescope that can automatically position itself to over 17,000 objects stored in its computer database. Weather permitting, the telescope is open for viewing at 9:45 p.m., after the final planetarium program Friday night.

Yard Work

You can always find my dad spending his work-free days out in the yard - trimming, pruning, watering and working up a sweat. He's labored on putting in a new garden in the front of the house, which has blossomed into a beautiful collection of rosemary bushes, a fig tree and aloe vera, among other plants. There are icy winters, where I'll help him cover all the fragile plants we can. And while the soil is defenseless against a scorching hot summer - Texas is experiencing its worst drought in decades - the garden has survived with dad's most diligent and productive yard work.
