I love this time of year. The weather is finally warming up. Flowers are blooming everywhere. New growth is showing on all the plants and furry little peaches are starting to grow on my peach tree. What better occasion to head over to the botanical gardens for a little photo excursion. When it gets warm, most people head to the zoo and, alas, the under appreciated botanical gardens gets neglected.
For you camera bugs out there, try the gardens instead. The colors were stunning. Brilliant shades of red, orange, blue and yellow abounded everywhere. Scaly lizards soaked up the brilliant sunshine on rugged tree trunks. Shiny green frogs with chocolate brown spots had their feet up on the lilly pads and kept a wary eye on the crazy photographer. Bright yellow and black swallowtail butterflys danced from flower to flower. Best of all, there were no crowds and I could snap all the photos I wanted at my leisure! One hearty thumbs up for the botanical gardens.
