My daughter and I walked around Kingwood Center in Mansfield this evening, which we do every other month or so.  This time, the evening sun was brilliant, and as I had camera in hand, I snapped a few shots.

 

Kingwood was built by a wealthy local industrialist and its 47 acres grounds have been open to the public since 1953.  It is amazingly beautiful and well worth the trip.

Beautiful gardens.

 

Unfortunately the house doesn't look very old with those windows.

 

Thanks for the pics!

Beautiful!  Lauren Bacall got married there, correct?

Nope... Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were married at Malabar Farm... which is several miles southeast of Mansfield.  Kingwood Center is in Mansfield itself.

Pretty.  Nothing around here looks like that due to a lack of rain.  Brown, anyone?
