Two Big Days Rolled Into One

It doesn’t always happen, but Sunday was a celebration of two important days, the first full day of summer and Fathers Day.   Looking for ways to document that,  my first stop was at the Georgetown Public Library, where bluegrass music was being performed by The Sieker Band, courtesy of Rolf Sieker and his wife, Beate.   Every third Sunday, all year long, the library offers free afternoon concerts.   There I found a father enjoying the music, but also enjoying his two-year-old’s company.  And a grandfather explaining things to his 4-year-old granddaughter.   Moving on, I put my sights on Georgetown’s San Gabriel Park, where I found a dad spending time on a fishing trip with his girls.   And horseback riding lessons for two 7-year-old best friends, the lessons conducted by Bella Peregrina Ranch, based near Rockdale, Texas.   Summer’s usual Texas blast was tempered by a cloudy day, periodically offering a spot of rain.  It was a humid day, but it was a good one.   These photos were taken for the Williamson County Sun.
