Winfrey Point--the highest elevation at White Rock Lake

A Perfect Fall Day......Even for a Butterfly

Fall Fishing

It was the first fall day when the high temperature was only 55 degrees. A couple of fishermen were out on the mouth of White Rock Creek trying their luck.

Tropical Depression Olaf Glooms Dallas

The deep moisture from the Pacific Tropical Depression Olaf arrived in Dallas last night. This afternoon as it was departing, it blanketed the area in a low cloud deck.
While out checking on the Calatrava Bridge (the web cam site is down) I got a couple of shots of the low cloud deck. The water level at White Rock has been high with all the rain in weeks past. So, while out, I stopped at the lake to see an even higher lake from nearly an inch of rain last night. Much to my surprise, the parrots of White Rock were haning out in a willow tree not far from where I had parked. Although the shots are more of a silhouette, looking into the tree, the parrots can be seen. One, hanging upside down was more of a clown than the others.

For all the volunteers at White Rock Lake

White Rock Lake is the jewel of the Dallas Park System. What makes it so great are all the volunteers that pick up trash and keep the lake clean. For all of you, this is a "thank you" image especially for you.

Deep Ellum

Deep Ellum has a history of more than 135 years. It is a very unique place and I enjoy checking it out from time to time. On a recent trip, there were a couple of 1920's cars parked in a driveway. With May being the 75th anniversary of when Bonnie and Clyde were running around Deep Ellum, there was a mystic about the whole area!
