The DeGolyer estate is in the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. I meant to return to it to photograph the doors when they were both closed but that idea lasted only a few seconds. I didn’t remember until I got home the next day and looked at the photographs on my computer.
Thursday is for Doors over at Norm 2.0.
Psst! Wanna be in my play?
These are very popular for photographs at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. I had only a few seconds to photograph them without someone standing in front. I can see the images are not as sharp as I’d like them to be due to my being in a hurry.
I made a trip specifically to see the spring event Dallas Blooms 2017 at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. And what did I see? Tulips, tulips everywhere! This is just one of the many beautiful tulips.

The 4th Annual Capital of Texas Motorcycle Police Chute Out recently finished up in Buda, Texas. It’s a skills-based competition open to police motorcycle units. This year there were 160+ competitors from 13 states, from Washington D.C. to Hawaii. Even the Secret Service was represented!

One event was the Slow Ride. The goal is to ride in a circle as slow as possible for as long as possible without jostling a cone, turning a cone over, or putting a foot on the ground. It’s a lot harder than it sounds.
