Speaking of this area I was reading a magazine called FYI 2007 that concerns the area known as the Golden Triangle. We are in Beaumont which with the cities of Port Arthur and Orange make up the Golden Triangle. In one section of this magazine was a topic called "How's the Weather?". It was here I found out that, typically, April has a total of 6 clear days! Six! We haven't seen one yet.
We spent our morning doing the usual "morning things" and then played on our computers for a while. Lo and behold the rain stopped, the wind died down and the sun came out! We decided to go for a ride just to get out of the house for awhile and into some fresh air.
We ended up not too far from where we are staying and walked through the gardens at the Binks Horticultural Center.
Some shots of what we saw.....
A little green lizard sunning himself.
We saw a few high school senior girls getting their pictures taken in the gardens. There was mom, the senior, the professional photographer and the helper going from setting to setting taking her senior pictures. I remember back in the day when the photographer came to the school, we all wore dark colored sweaters and that was it. My how times have changed.
We came upon this area in the gardens that we thought was especially nice. It's a tribute to 9-11.
Inside these gates is a marble monument depicting the Twin Towers and the other buildings that came down that day. 
Below is a monu-ment giv-ing tribute to the canines that played an impor-tant part in recovering the bodies in the rubble.

That rose garden was glorious. So glad the sun came out so you could get these pictures.
