Photography Adventure

[jchooper12]

Well, my wife and I FINALLY have a 2 days off together, it has been over a year that this has happened. We want to go somewhere tomorrow to do some photography and are having a hard time figuring out where and what to shoot. I would appriciate any ideas that you all can give me. We are at a loss right now.

Thank you for any help.

Your Profile doesn't show where in Texas you are.

Or the DFW area at least.

What part of Texas are you in?

[jchooper12]

DFW

Thanks

We are willing to drive a bit to any location, up to 4 hours one way is good.

Turner Falls, OK. Talihina, OK along the Talimena Scenic Drive into Arkansas. North/West side of Lake Travis in Austin and the surrounding hill country. San Antonio River Walk.

Hope these suggestions spark an idea.

There's a town on the east side of Texas ... Jefferson about 2-3 hours east of Dallas on I-20, my wife and I stayed at a bed & breakfast a few years ago, supposedly some presidents have stayed there as well some nice scenery around the area.

If you are interested in wildlife, may I suggest Fossil Rim?

Get over to the Gaylord. See the ICE exhibit, and then see the hotel and have lunch.
