Dallas has set up a walking path called the Katy Trail which follows what used to be a railroad line. I found it accidentally one day when walking along Turtle Creek and notice some people walking up on a higher level. It goes through a pretty populated area but has lots of trees and flowers.

No Filter
Years ago, when I was in nursing school here in Dallas, I used to go to White Rock Lake here. We’d go for picnics but never swimming. It’s a pretty big lake with sail boats. I’m not sure about swimming. One day I was standing on the shore when I happened to look down and saw either one, or maybe more, as the body was all entwined, huge water moccasin, the most venemous snake in North America. Luckily, it was sleeping or hibernating if they do that. Maybe that’s why there is no swimming. They are very aggressive and will chase you out of the water. I went to White Rock Lake to get some sunset photos and it was a perfect evening. The light was lovely and the photos needed no filtering.
Spring
Spring has fully arrived in Texas and Easter just arrived so there is a lot to see and photograph but most of these were taken in Paris.
These are unusual rabbits.

Bluebonnets
April is the time for the arrival of the state flower of Texas, the blue bonnet. I drove to the town of Ennis, about 30 miles from Dallas. It’s a very cool little place and their visitor’s center hands out maps showing where to go to see the flowers. Sad to say, the blue bonnets are not very prolific this year due to lack of rain but I found some.
