Late Autumn in Dallas

Although it's almost winter, as of today it still looked as though it was mid autumn, here in Dallas. We had a late fall here and I was able to get some last minute shots of some of Dallas' best photo spots. Last minute because it began to sleet and get real nasty even as I was on this shoot. We don't get much snow here, but it's sleeting as I write at 11:30PM, and tomorrow promises to be a day of closures around town.



Having grown up and learned to drive in snow and ice in the Great Pacific Northwest (Spokane, WA.), I know, firsthand that, driving on sleet/ice is incomparable to driving in snow. Even so, when it sleets here, the biggest problem is inexperienced drivers as much as the ice. So, when they close it down because of a quarter inch of ice, it's understandable.



Still, the northerners scoff at us wusses down here when we collectively stay home over a quarter inch of ice. Whatever!



But, it's as good a day as ever to post some Autumn shots of Dallas. If weather gets steadily dramatic in the next few days, I'll be there with my trusty camera with some winterized Dallas shots!

These pics were taken at White Rock Lake and Lakeside Drive in Highland Park, two of the prettiest areas in all of Dallas, regardless of the season.
