Along the Texas Trails

My hubby had to attend training in Texas this month, as a good wife I felt compelled to tag along. He got to sit in class for two days and in a simulator for three days. On the other hand, I enjoyed an early spring along the Texas trails in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Who do you think got the better end of that deal?

Lake Grapevine Horseshoe Trail

The butterfly at the top, paused long enough for me to click at the Texas Discovery Gardens. The two flowering plants next to it were captured at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden along with the tulips below. I also discovered the Lake Grapevine Horseshoe Trails (pictured above). These trails intertwine and are not always well marked. With a hiking app, I found my way around and it was well worth exploring.

The Texas weather in March is absolutely perfect. The Texan in me was a very happy camper.
