Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park here in Austin, Texas has always been one of my favorite spots to walk around and take pictures, or just enjoy a sunny day. In the Spring, there are gorgeous lady bluebonnets and wildflowers everywhere, it's almost impossible not to stop and snap a few pictures as you're walking along. On a nice weekend, this place is full of people sun bathing, boating, playing frisbee, and tons of dogs running around. I'm excited to take Atka there once it warms up a bit, I know she'll love it there!
I stopped by a few weeks ago on a 70 degree day in the middle of the week and loved getting to take in the peaceful surroundings...
