Photo Blogging Challenge (February 2015): Winter

Winter in Texas can be kind of tough to find. We started out February in shorts and ended it bundled up again.

It was pretty amazing weather, we were able to get out and hit the trails some.

Over Valentines day weekend, Amy ran the Austin half-marathon and the boys and I ran a 5K while we were waiting. Town Lake was hopping with folks enjoying the warm weather.

They paddled into the evening.

I finally got to see a little winter. I went for a visit to our Tulsa office. They had been hit by a bit of a snow storm a few days earlier.
I found winter. Not that I was looking for it.

Then, just when we though we were all done with winter, we got one of those weird weather days in Waco. Big, huge, flakes. It was so pretty coming down. The two photos below were taken only a few hours apart. In Texas, we get to enjoy three seasons in one day.



Hey, look, @hoohaa29 We have snow, too!Texas!

That's the best we can do for winter around here. If you want to see what winter looks like elsewhere, go check out the rest at a lil hoohaa blog. And we'll see you next month.

Beautiful shots of the river! I'm glad even you folks in Texas are getting a taste of real winter. Everyone should get to enjoy at least a little bit of snow!

The Austin skyline is stunning. I love the simplicity of the park bench and trees...a very serene shot.

Neat shot of the bench! Very artistically done!

Hi Mike - Great series of photographs this month. Each stands alone beautifully, but I also really like they way they include such strong lines - vertical, horizontal or both! The three trees and a bench is a fabulous composition.

A few participants make mention of long runs this month, something I've never been able to do (always end up with a headache after running - I must hit the ground too hard or something). Good for all of you!

On an unrelated note, now that the weekly Flickr challenge has evaporated I am not posting much over there. Time to develop a new habit, I guess!

That's what happens, Mike! Snow comes to you when you walk around in shorts in February!

Good photos this month as per normal!
