Description

A gorgeous clear-blue Texas sky tops this naturally texture-filled perfectly focused photograph of a native Texas limestone cistern and main building at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, Texas, USA. An unidentifiable male tourist, with his back to the camera, adds scale and a personal touch to the scene.

Graceful native plants, flowers, and trees flank a curved path leading up to the main building, of which the limestone cistern is a unique architectural focus, complete with pergola.

The Wildflower Center is the research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, nationally recognized for applied research and demonstration projects that show us new ways to protect our natural environment. Its architecture honors Texas pioneers as well as the state's Spanish mission heritage.

The Wildflower Center is also where two of my family members were married. Weddings are among the many events hosted here throughout the year. Image was taken in October 2011, during the year-long Texas drought.
