Hotel at the Lafayette, Buffalo


This joint serves as a wedding venue with a rather nice courtyard space. In an adjacent room the speeches were being performed but a snap was considered impolite. One of the guests was overheard in the gents "on the big white telephone" being unwell. For the sake of his reputation the date of this image shall remain unknown.

Pan American Grill and Brewery, Buffalo


This one is within Hotel @ The Lafayette which is rather trendy. The food was good and plentiful. Thanks to local custom and practice a box was "no problem" and the problem of what to eat for next day's dinner was immediately solved.

Wonky House, Austin, Texas


This one is located in the middle of a new restaurant area. It has a significant lean in one direction.

Post Goats Cheese Flight


After eating goats cheese the birds posed for shots and then flew off to do bird stuff.

Birds Eating Goats Cheese, Austin, Texas




Alta's cafe overlooks the river in Austin and is a nice quiet spot to hang out. The small black birds that hang around are bold and have developed a taste for goats cheese. How very urban of them.

Colorado River, Austin, Texas




The Colorado River runs through the middle of Austin and provides some relief from the heat. The couple on paddle boards are making the most of this.
