Just west of the Federal Courthouse is a very nice square with this large oak: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/square+west+of+Federal+Courthouse.jpg.html In the older parts of Austin the creeks were left largely undeveloped as the older residents remembered flash floods that were very destructive; this is a creek running on the north border of the State School for the Deaf which was established shortly after Texas independence: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/creek+bed+north+of+Texas+School+for+the+Deaf.jpg.html Much of the close in Austin was built in the second or third wave of growth and the trees have had a chance to mature: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/60_s+Austin+front+yard.jpg.html Bear in mind that large parts of Austin are sitting on a large limestone ocean bed from long ago. All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
