Description


They certainly do things in a big way here - This Texas Longhorn topiary is part of the Spring Collection at the Dallas Arboretum.

*I had to arrive early and patiently wait for this popular area to be free of people walking by.

Your patience paid off in spades, Jeff ~ this beautiful display minus people wouldn't have looked nearly as good with "the human element" distracting the viewer's eyes.
Aren't these special Springtime shows a feast for photographers? I can hardly wait for the Annual Spring Garden Show in three weeks! Looking forward to many more of your fantastic photos from the Arboretum! #1613317
