It was a beautiful Texas July day with the temperature predicted to hit 100 degrees. Not the best day to be outside at the Dallas Arboretum, but we went anyway. We arrived as they were opening, and wanted to stay for an hour or so to get some Summer pictures. We had visited the Arboretum in the late Fall, so we were excited to see all the summer colors. The temp was in the high 80s when we arrived, so we knew it would be a short trip.
The Arboretum was not very busy, but I was surprised at the number of people that paid the admission cost to run around playing Pokemon Go. It was sad to me that they were not even enjoying the beauty of the grounds, just staring at their phones the whole time.
Here are some of the pictures we took that morning:
 |
| This statue is one of my favorites in the park. |

| The water features are everywhere and beautiful. The running water sounds are awesome. |
 |
| Another great water feature! |
 |
| There are many different types of Elephant Ear plants. |
 |
| The walkways are stunning! |
 |
| These water lilies are in pots in the bottom of the Koi pond. |

The Arboretum is a must stop if you are ever in Dallas!
