With the cooler weather approaching it's a great time to visit one of my favorite places. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a wonderful experience for gardeners and those who appreciate nature's beauty. Set on White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum features 66 acres of fountains, beautiful gardens, and displays full of seasonal color.
I have been visiting the arboretum for years and though I no longer live in the Dallas area I do find time to occasionally return and enjoy the serenity and beauty found at the arboretum.

The holiday season, Halloween to Christmas, is my favorite time to go. From the pumpkin patches to the incredible display of Christmas decorations at the DeGolyer House located on the grounds the atmosphere seems to celebrate "Holiday."
The weather is usually quite pleasant during most of the season as well. I love wandering through the arboretum, enjoying the views of the sailboats on the lake or watching the squirrels gather nuts for the oncoming winter.
