P1010522 Leslie in a cheerleader getup poses against Austin downtown skyline

Bat watching is really more about people watching: the most spectacular "bat" I saw that night was Austin's famous Leslie! This is why I love my adopted city! I've never seen Leslie before all those years I've lived in Austin. I wondered if this was an imitator (because of course Leslie must have imitators! :-) but no -- this is the man himself.
