Nature by the Trail captures the calm and beauty Austinites can experience if they know where to look. It's midday on Lady Bird Lake, and the city is in full roar, with traffic humming across the bridges and towers glinting overhead.

Yet down at the water's edge, nobody told the wildlife. A whole untroubled world carries on a few steps from the rush, proof that peace doesn't always require escape, only a place to slow down and take nature in. [Video & Edit]
