Nature/Nature everywhere!

I have been remiss in updating my blog, and vow to try and catch up in the next few weeks. I have lots of photos and videos to upload!
For my first update, I thought I would upload some photos from the last 2 weekends. Enjoy!

First is the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth:

My personal favorite--Begging Koi!

Chief and his photographic skills! (At least he took the lens cap off!)

Weekend number 2, we went to the Dallas Arboretum. We took 250 photos, but I have not included all of them here, but a LOT of them! Please enjoy them as much as we enjoyed taking them!
