Austin III

As one can see it is spring and the garden at it's best.

Does it not feel as one was in Italy?

Next to Laguna Gloria is Mayfield Park famous for its birdies. ;)


Can not remember to ever have seen one life like this.
He was folded up when I came so how does he know I am female?



And from behind. The proud bird did circles in front of me. So funny to see "under his skirt". :)



Folded up and ready to go.


Yes yes we are still watching.


A weird little plant.


An arc.


The Mayfield-Gutsch Estate is a historic home and park grounds. Originally built in the 1870s, the cottage was purchased by former Texas Secretary of State Allison Mayfield in 1909. In 1922, the house passed to Mayfield's daughter, Mary Frances, and her husband, University of Texas professor Milton Gutsch. They expanded the home, adding porches on three sides, and greatly developed the surrounding gardens. When Mary Mayfield Gutsch died in 1971, the home and grounds were left to the City of Austin for use as a park.
