Blessed Miguel Pro - his photos, originally uploaded by Jobriga.
This image is quickly becoming my most popular Flickr photo - 114 views as of this writing. It is wonderful to think that Flickr can, in some small way, help show more people the story of this saint’s martyrdom.

The Lone Star appears throughout the state capitol in Austin, Texas. On the wooden seats, the gates, and the monuments dotting the landscape. It appears at the pinnacle of the dome in the center of the building, and is reflected in the floor at bottom. It’s a subtle reminder of the Lone Star state, without having the Texan flag waving throughout the building.
Here are a few photos of stars I noticed (click on any to view larger, Flickr version).

Shown below: the “Katrina Tryptych” found in Mi Casa on South College Street in Austin, TX.
All panels are painted over silkscreens of the headlines from the tragedy.
Left panel: the weather pattern.
Center panel: Creole woman holding lilies, against the backdrop of a ruined New Orleans.
Right panel: New Orleans jazz funeral, with water flowing out of the frame and uniting all the panels.
The painted triptych was created by Channe Felton; posters are available though I can’t find ordering info online. If you find yourself on South College Street, swing in and take a look at this interesting shop.

Now posted to Flickr, a photo album of photos taken around Austin, Texas. Mostly of the capitol building, where I spent an enjoyable Sunday morning walking around and snapping shots:
I need to get some words to go with these pictures, especially on the preponderance of the “Lone Star” symbol throughout the capital building.
