Pretty bed of flowers with Hibiscus.

I got so caught up in trying to get a picture of the church that we missed our turn. So when we finally realized and turned back, I caught the steeple reflected in a skyscraper. Once back on the walk route we passed the church for a great picture.

Here is the whole church.

Museum Tower Condos

Belo Mansion is home of the Dallas Bar Association.

The walk passes the entrance of Trammel Crow. We again strayed from the walk route and went in the gate. We didn't stop there.

We passed this statue.

Went down some steps to see this one at the Asian Art Museum.

We went a little further off the walk route and spotted this mural.

We returned to the walk route and we could see this church steeple above some trees.

Walk route passed this church, I went into the courtyard to get some photographs.

Arch around the door looks a little strange.

We continued off the walk route to this fountain.

Back on the walk route we came to the chapel in Thanksgiving Square. We walked up, but the chapel wasn't open.

They called this a flower, but I just can't see it.
