November in many states means barren trees and heavy snowfall, but autumn is still in full-swing across parts of Texas. At the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, 7.5 acres of Japanese Maples are just starting to show off their fall colors, and it’s a truly mesmerizing sight to behold.

Located in the heart of cultural downtown, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden is a sprawling, 110-acre paradise for nature lovers.
