Keel-billed Toucan, and related Acari at Dallas World Aquarium, TX
___________________________________________________________________________
We discovered the Dallas World Aquarium here in Texas, and I’m obsessed! This place is so much more than an aquarium. We’re getting an annual membership so we can go every weekend. Check out the Leafy Seadragon…well-camouflaged amongst the seaweed of similar design, graceful, gorgeous!

Downtown Fort Worth has the most beautiful mixture of early 20th century and modern architecture. Because so much consideration has been given to preserving the ornate carvings and tile-work on older buildings, I think Fort Worth has among the top 3 most charming downtown areas in the country. The lioness heads skirt around the sides and above the windows. The Flatiron Building, completed in 1907, was one of city’s the first steel frame buildings and WAS also the tallest building in north Texas at the time.

Next, the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall has two 48 foot tall (15 m) angels carved from Texas limestone, and was built in 1998.
