Lewisville, Texas

[jeffashman]

I had some medical appointments this morning and decided to make a stop on the way back in Old Town Lewisville to continue testing out the Kodak Pixpro AZ528 for an upcoming trip. I'm trying to break out from doing just wildlife and garden shots. Could not get any decent shots of Main Street, so I'll have to try again on a later date... when the weather isn't 100+ jammin' degrees...

3 Wayne Ferguson bronze. Could not find any info online, but I believe the redesign and rehabilitation of Old Town Lewisville and the new City Hall building were his dream.

Some very interesting shots ...

everything but the close up shots are out of focus a bit. Or soft. I like the close up shots of the statue. Nice sky reflection.

A cowboy riding a bunny, i wanna do that too or even hire Radagast's bunny drawn sled. Whats the story about the boots behind the long eared bandit?

I've been to the Prairie House up on 380. Very good place, if you are fond of authentic Texas cuisine. Mrs. B recommends the Chicken Fried Steak. If you like jalapeno poppers, you need to try the Banditos.

Lewisville Old Town is a very interesting place. They've done a lot to try and attract visitors to the area.

More likely soft, the Kodak isn't exactly a top of the line piece of equipment. Thanks for the input!

I'm not sure. The plaque only identifies the title and the name of the artist that created it.

Definitely on my list now. Old Town has changed a lot in the past decade, really amazing. I usually don't drive that way, but decided to take a look today.

The author visited Old Town Lewisville to test out their Kodak Pixpro AZ528 for an upcoming trip, aiming to break away from wildlife and garden photography. They took photos of the Bronc busting statue, the Lewisville City Hall building, Wayne Ferguson bronze, a mural on the wall of the Prairie House Restaurant, and a random sculpture called "The Bandit" in an alley.

Now the boots make sense,

Now why didn't I look there? Two of my sons were Fighting Farmers and one of them was picked for Varsity Football in his Freshman year as their kicker. He played soccer, so he had a pretty powerful kick. Will have to see if they say anything about Wayne Ferguson. I will also be hunting those other rabbits, Old Town isn't that big...
