Looking for Scenic Locations
What are some secluded scenic locations around Dallas? I would like attractive, quiet areas to take pictures.

Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth are awesome. They are just north of I-30 on University Blvd. So roughly a 30-40 minute drive from downtown Dallas. Great place to relax and take in some excellent scenery and green thumb magic.

Yes, I especially love their Japanese gardens. Grapevine has a surprisingly nice botanical garden as well. |

And the Dallas Arboretum - http://www.city-data.com/forum/dalla...um-photos.html
Weekdays would be much better for getting secluded photos - some weekends can be very crowded, although the early mornings are usually not bad. |

turtle creek, highland park area just south of the Dallas Country club. There is a little park there. It is a scenic, peaceful and walkable area. Right off of Beverly Drive just before Preston road.
