Dallas, Texas: The Dallas Arboretum
On December 25th I witnessed what can only be described as a Christmas miracle: SNOW IN TEXAS.
If someone told me that I would see snow anywhere near Dallas, I’d have called them a big, dumb, liar and would have proceeded to ignore them forever. Alas, a trip to the Dallas Arboretum with a focus on detail shots proves that there was in fact snow.
Snow-related Details:
There was more to the garden than just plants. There were many colorful birds (who moved too quickly for me to take pictures of), a temporary Chihuly exhibit, beautiful sculptures, a miniature town, and a beautiful old home (In which photography was prohibited).

Chihuly Details:
I thought the arboretum was beautiful. I would very much like to visit again when the flowers are in bloom an the trees are green. Though I will likely change my mind when the weather goes back to being blisteringly hot.
Now, I leave you with a photo of a ladybug I found in my bathroom. Enjoy:
Nice shots. I too went down to the Arboretum the day after Christmas but was disappointed at how little snow they had there. I’m going to miss the Chihuly sculptures – but the am also looking forward to seeing the Arboretum in bloom with real plants.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, glad you liked them. It seems snow only ever sits on rooftops in Texas. I too am looking forward to seeing the Arboretum in bloom!
Beautiful pictures of the glass sculptures, they remind me of the ones in bellagio As vegas
Thanks Jo! They are actually done by the same artist!
