Texas Sculpture Garden, Frisco

Did y'all know there is "the largest private collection of contemporary Texas sculptures" right in Frisco, hidden in a business park? Four acres of property with beautiful sculptures throughout, that are open to the public for free viewing year-round. This area was created to showcase the Texas community talent of local artists and to make their work available for all to see and enjoy. It's pretty awesome!

Not only are there sculptures here, but there are walking trails and lots of lakes and fountains that have seating areas all around them. This was intentional so that the artwork is surrounded by a beautiful backdrop. And they were very successful because it is very beautiful!

Apparently, the founder of Hall Financial and the Texas Sculpture Garden has always had a lot of interest in art and tries to do sculptures in name of their real estate projects. This Sculpture Garden was founded in 1999, and this collection currently has over 40 pieces.

Side note: If you are a portrait photographer, this area would make a great location for some abstract art behind your portraits! I am not a photographer, but I absolutely love the pictures I took of my kids here!

If you are looking for something to do on a beautiful day, this really is a very unique and pretty setting to walk around! Or possibly ride a bike around the trails (if available). Look at how much cooler this place got! They have bikes you can borrow to go for a ride!

If you love looking at the artwork and want to hear more about each artist you can also do a free audio art tour. I love all these little hidden gem places in North Texas! Always something to do!

Post Oak Creek - Fossil/Shark Teeth Hunt

Did y'all know that in Sherman Texas (about 30 minutes north of McKinney) there is a great spot to search for old shark teeth and fossils? There were fossils everywhere. Just pick a spot to sit and start scooping up rocks and you are bound to find something interesting! Supposedly the old shark teeth are from 145 million years ago. (Some of our finds) We went with friends, because what better way is there to spend a gorgeous day outside (easily able to social distance), but still so much fun! I mainly took pictures...because hey, it was just beautiful. And because I love taking pictures of people having fun. But everyone else was sifting rocks and enjoying hanging out in the water of the creek looking for shark teeth and cool fossils and rocks. I couldn't believe how many they found!! If you find something different here is a good link to see what it is: http://northtexasfossils.com/sharks.htm Who knew that you could do someth...

Prairie Creek Park

Did y'all know that right here in North Texas there is a hidden waterfall? It is tucked inside a wooded greenbelt park that has trails, bridges, and creeks....and it is located right in Richardson Texas. Prairie Creek Park! The history of this park is that it was founded in 1966 and is one of the oldest and most historical parks in Richardson. This area has been preserved to protect nature and wildlife habitats. Beautiful park, and has a waterfall?!! Y’all need to go see this place! And I should mention that the waterfall is so easy to access. It is very close to the street where you can park. And it is pretty easy to find because before you can even see it you will hear it. The sound of strong rushing water seems to echo through the trees. And you can even walk over the top of the fall to get onto the trail! You can go and just see the waterfall but I highly recommend going for the walk through the trails. It is so peace...

Dallas Love Field Plane Spotting Location

If you ever need to go to Dallas Love Field Airport (or if you just have a kid that loves planes), y’all might want to check out Bachman Lake Park! It is a beautiful location, and happens to be right next to the airport. Dallas Love Field has 2 parallel runways and this lake runs right along the north edge of the airport. Here is a map of the lake to the airport. Southwest Airlines' planes usually land and depart from one runway, and Delta and United typically use the other runway. So if you are waiting for someone to arrive this might be a fun place to wait, so that you can watch their actual plane coming in for the landing. If you stay on Shorecrest Drive you get a really close view of the planes right above you, but either side of the lake is still a good spot to view them. And it is a public park, so anyone can go. When in the area my family likes to pick up some lunch, take it down to the park, and eat while watching planes come in...
