Austin's Rhapsody Mosaic



Rhapsody, a mosaic by artist John Yancey, stands on Austin's East 11th Street. This colorful creation captures the spirit of the district that was once the heart of the city's jazz scene. You'll find the mosaic at the Dr. Charles E. Urdy Plaza at East 11th and Waller streets, just east of I-35.

Kolaches in Schulenburg



Schulenburg--along with towns like Hallettsville, Caldwell, and West--is well known for its fresh kolaches. This Czech pastry was brought to the region by Czech immigrants and keeps local bakeries busy. This tray of poppy seed kolaches was at Oakridge Smokehouse Restaurant just north of I-10 in Schulenburg.

Welcome to Texas Photo of the Day

Welcome to the new Photo of the Day section. Longtime readers will recall we had a Photo of the Day section in our TexasTripper Travel news but the size of the photos made the archive pages, well, Texas sized. With our new, dedicated Photo of the Day section, we're looking forward to bringing you our favorite photos from across the Lone Star State.
