I love the Stockyards! Good photos, especially of the longhorn! There's more people on the weekends, though, during the day and night.

Default Makes Me Want To Sing

Great shots from Cowtown, my friend. You're going to make me write a country song soon.....

See if you can head over to Frisco and North Dallas before you leave for home. They're very photogenic places. In the meantime, I may just head out to FW this weekend.

Okay, one question, RGV. Did you refer to Love Shack as the place where you got your burgers???
