Botanical Gardens Trip

We took a short trip to the Botanic Gardens on Friday. Thankfully it didn't rain while we were there. (June/July is USUALLY HOT and DRY, but this year it has been more like the rainy season!)

We looked at lots of trees and plants. While sitting on a bench we even had a surprise guest--Mr. Flutter sat with us! Amazingly Ana sat quite still and took a good look at him.
There is amazing diversity in these gardens. We loved seeing the old trees. If you look carefully at the picture on the right, you'll see Ana and Matt at the bottom!
I got to play around with my camera a little. These flowers were to pretty to pass up! Ana got to feed these two swans thanks to another family that had brought some bread with them.

There are lots of great places to shoot photos here. I couldn't resist this one!
Lots of people walk there dogs here and we got to pet a couple. I hope some day to live where we can have a pet again! Ana and I are going to go back. If nothing else, it lets her run around a bit and gets her ready for a good nap!
