Went down to check out Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. At first I thought it was pretty pricey. It was $15 to park and $15 to get in. So I broke down and got a years pass for $85 and it includes parking. With the pass I can take one guest. I figured I will go two or three more times. I went in hopes of finding some hummingbirds. No hummers, but tons of flowers. Pretty interesting place. One of the coolest parts were there were 8 or 9 mexican 15 year girls in like thousand dollar ballroom gowns. The had professional photographers with hair and makeup people. It is their coming of age called: Quinceanera. I really wanted to snap off a couple to show you. Looked pretty cool and huge money down here. I am guessing I would need to learn spanish to make it work for me.
Blue Agave only bloom / seed once every 25 or 26 years, and then they die. I had never seen a seed head before. I am guessing it was 12 to 14 feet tall.

The little town of Sachse we moved to has their fireworks (Red, White and Blue Blast) on the third as to not compete with the larger displays on the fourth. The park is less than a quarter mile from our house. I started off in our driveway, but quickly walked 4 houses down the hill by the pool to get a better angle on the fireworks. Started out with my 70-200mm and quickly switched to my 24-70mm. Almost all these shots were at 24mm.
Hope you enjoy them!
All in all a nice little display and a pool party cookout will be planned around this next year.
As messed up as this great country of ours is right now, there is still no place I would rather be. God Bless the United States of America and THANKS to all who have served or are serving so we can enjoy the freedom we still have today!
