There are many sites in Dallas to visit, but we were short on time and caught just a few local highlights. Since my goddaughter lives in Irving, we concentrated on those areas for short spurts of sightseeing. The following were highlights of that whirlwind afternoon.
The Mustangs of Los Colinas was an exquisite stop. It’s a sculpture of spirited mustangs running through a body of water–all set amongst a busy office complex. The artwork by Mr. Robert Glen was meticulous. The horses were captured in all their majesty and it was easy to imagine them stampeding through the water, wind blowing in their manes, and running on strong, graceful legs. We were visiting by day in bright sunlight and it was breathtaking. I can’t imagine the view at night. The Mustangs of Las Colinas were amazing.
Our next stop was the Irvin Veterans Memorial Park. This park paid tribute to the local servicemen and women who sacrificed all for the United States of America. It’s a peaceful place to reflect and give honor to those who have served to protect our nation.
Our visit to Dallas was short and very productive. The time with family was the most important and special. We can’t wait to visit again.
Now, it’s on to Oklahoma!
Safe travels,
Dawn

Wow, I can almost hear those horses running through the water. How fun to find these treasures on your journey! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
They were beautiful! Thanks for commenting!
You just went through my neck of the woods. I’m out by the racetrack (Hwy 114 & I-35)
The Mustangs are beautiful creatures, aren’t they?
Enjoy your travels and be safe. I’m enjoying reading about where you visit, even though I don’t comment on all the posts.
Thanks so much for reading. The mustangs were beautiful–the artist captured them perfectly. We enjoyed our stay in your neck of the woods!
What wonderful sculptures of the horses! They look almost real. Is there some sort of little bubbling fountains in the water to make it look like they are splashing? Thanks for showing your photos! 🙂
Yes–there are jets that splash around the horses’ hooves. They were truly gorgeous. I’m so happy we got a chance to visit them.
That takes one skilled artist to sculpt those Mustangs in an array of movements. Truly amazing and beautiful.
They were gorgeous!
Great photos! I am definitely putting this on our list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing!
The sculpture is definitely worth a stop. Thank you for reading!
Wow! This was incredible. Reminded me of the Denver airport where they have that firey statue of the horse. Have you seen it? Loved your photos and learning something new.
I have not seen the one at the Denver airport. The sculpture of the mustangs was amazing–I still notice something new when I look at the photos. Thank you for stopping by! Dawn
Your welcome. It’s always fun to learn something new.
Aren’t they lovely?? I love those mustangs! Giddy up on down the road! Safe travels and happy trails.
Thank you for stopping by. The mustangs are amazing.
oh, wow, if we ever get down that way again, my husband would love this place.
It’s truly beautiful. I’m so glad we had the opportunity to see it.
