Annular Solar Eclipse
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while at its farthest point from Earth. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it does not completely block the Sun. This will create a "ring of fire" effect in the sky for those standing in the path of annularity. During an annular eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection designed for solar viewing. Location Partial Eclipse Begins Annularity Begins Maximum Annularity Ends Partial Eclipse Ends Lakeway, Texas 10:23 a.m. CDT 11:52 a.m. CDT 11:54 a.m. CDT 11:56 a.m. CDT 1:33 p.m. CDT

Texas Wildflower Day
Lakeway Garden Club Lakeway, TX, United StatesTexas Wildflower Day serves as an annual tribute to the state's vibrant floral landscape, observed every year on the fourth Saturday of April. This 45-year-old tradition honors the aesthetic beauty, ecological significance, and vast diversity of Texas flora while actively advocating for vital conservation efforts. The celebration was established by Texas Woman’s University (TWU) in 1980 to highlight the importance of preserving the state's natural environment. Since its inception, the day has focused on educating the public about the delicate balance of the local ecosystem and the necessity of protecting native habitats. The impact of this celebration extends beyond a single day of appreciation. The inaugural event at TWU fostered a renewed interest in botanical studies and environmental stewardship across the state. Today, Texas Wildflower Day remains a cornerstone for community engagement and the continued preservation of the Lone Star State's unique natural heritage
