Texas is seriously hot in the summer. This year the heat was up to 109-110℉ during the hottest part of the day and it was still over 100℉ after 8 o’clock PM some days. However, if you woke up early enough then you could enjoy the relatively cool 80℉ mornings. On a bright but nice Sunday morning my boyfriend and I headed to the Grapevine Botanical Gardens.
Small but beautiful and quiet. Just a few people walking their dogs and a couple taking photos with a professional photographer. The flowers were bright and the coy in the ponds brighter, shining yellow-gold, fiery-orange, and silver-white as they lazily swam in and out of the shadows.
It was nice to wander among the trees listening to the bubbling fountains. A bee came over to investigate us. Buzzing around and landing on the camera before flying back off to her hive. Keltin and I had fun, taking pictures and exploring the area. Being in nature always brings a smile to my face.
Where do you go to relax for a moment and escape from the day-to-day? Have a great weekend.
The last photo was taken by Keltin – KW Photography.
How beautiful!

Nice photos! What camera are you using? I just bought a camera last Sunday and I wasn’t happy with it. I’m thinking of getting something else.

Some of those are just iPhone photos and some were taken with a Canon Rebel T6.

I’ve been using my phone for my photos but I want to learn more about photography. I’ve heard that canon is user-friendly esp. for beginners.

Yes, Canon is and there are a ton of YouTube videos and such that you can watch too that will help you learn how to use the different settings.
