Well, I promised that I would show you some photos
from my trip to Dallas.
Some of you have ask me....
Where are the pictures????
I do keep my promises. :)
I finally got time to download them
so here are just a few.
Hope you enjoy them.
These are the
Mustangs of Los Colinas
by Robert Glen, sculptor.
They are the most beautiful bronzes
I've ever seen.
I love the way the little fountains make it
look like they are splashing the water.
Another bronze I would love to see in person
is one that is known by the name
"Grief"
although that is not the real name given to it.
The sculptor was Augustus Saint Gawten
and it is in Washington D.C.
OK, back to photos of my trip......
Scarecrow family at the Nash Farm...
I love scarecrows!
Bronze sculptors at the airport.
Share the Dream
by Dennis Smith, sculptor
Do children play like this anymore?
I hope so.
I went for walks almost every day.
I would have to leave the apartment,
which was on the 3rd floor,
walk down a few blocks,
to the wooded park,
on Bear Creek.
Well, on the sidewalks I noticed
little cat paw prints all over the place....
and I do mean all over the place!
I guess when they were putting in the sidewalks,
little kitty cats were checking it out.
I just thought it was funny!
The wooded walking park
had every plant marked for identification.
This was marked as
Eve's Necklace.
I had never seen a tree like this before.
It was lovely!
Strands of blue like pearls all over!
Along with plant IDs
they also had plaques like the one above,
each with different information.
It was very educational.
It took me the whole week to read everything,
to walk most of the paths,
and I still don't think I saw all the park.
There is an amphitheatre there,
a dog park, and more.
When you are in the wooded area
you would never know you
were in the middle of a metropolitan city,
until a huge airplane flew low overhead.
I did see a horned toad,
and a little bunny rabbit,
and lots of squirrels in the park.
No pics,
as they were too fast for me!
I saw many of the same people walking every day,
all very friendly.
It was fun,
good exercise,
(especially the 3 flights of stairs!)
and I really enjoyed my visit with
Amy and Jim!
So, anyway you can .....
Savor the Day!

wow, so many more photos than my trip to the big D! all I had to show for it was my antique shop photos!! great bronze sculpture and I do love the fountains and the way the water makes it looks like they are running thru the water!! lovely!!
I love those horses!!! what a beautiful arrangement ..... and how wonderful to have identifiers along your nature walk - I always wonder what things are and then forget by the time I get home to look them up somehow :)
Cool pics. I had seen some, but not all of them. We enjoyed having you here. I love you!
wow you have had a super trip - and I love your red dragonfly on the previous post!
Yvonne, it looks like you had a lovely trip. Thanks for the comment...I'm in the middle of making roasted tomato pasta sauce which I am going to can. The vegies are roasting now. I'm thinking that will be my next post!
Looks like a very interesting trip. I love the bronze of the children playing and would have asked myself the same question you did "Do children really play like this anymore?" I'm not sure I've seen any lately...and it is summer...where are all the kids?
The kitty paw prints are adorable. So glad you had a nice visit and that you took the time to notice so many wonderful things most would have overlooked.
