Good Friday, I headed over to Dallas via the TRE/DART rail systems (I’m so public transportation savvy!) and went to the Dallas Arboretum with my dad and Grandma. Even though it was one of the Arboretum’s record setting days in regards to attendence, it didn’t feel too crowded, and we had a fantastic time. Occasionally I had to stay crouched for a good while, waiting for people to file out of the background of my shots, but it was well worth it.
Dallas Blooms was breathtaking–Dad and I walked around with jaws agape at the number of flowers, the color of flowers, and the time, design and planning that went into the landscaping. Our jaws stayed agape as we realized that my 85 year-old Mema could easily give us the scientific name for about 97% of the flowers in the 67 acre garden. I can only hope that when I’m 85, I am as mentally and physically sound as my haus of a Mema.
More flowers at my Flickr.
I almost took Brooke there, too. Dangit. Those pictures are great. My mom will love them. She is a big fan of flower picture taking.
Those tulips look like candy their color is so rich! Wow, nice work Sarah!
Love you! xoxoxoxoxo =)
