It was early November and the Arboretum was swarming with Dallasites enjoying yet another unseasonably warm fall day. Lindsey, Kyle and I dodged a few clusters of people as I gave them an abridged tour of the gardens. Both of them are the fairly quiet type. Kyle is extremely tender around Lindsey and makes her giggle softly to herself often. They have a peaceful and lovely presence together so the day was perfect for them – soft sunlight coupled with some serene locations around the gardens.

I wanted this image so bad that I waited patiently while several groups walked through and I finally started kindly coaxing people to move along.
