Our Family Trip to the Botanical Gardens! ! !

















There is nothing quite so beautiful as the flowers God created. This is a true sign of Spring for me. But back to the subject. March 21, last Friday, my family and I went to the Botanical Gardens! I was so excited because we usually only go once or twice a year because we seem to forget that it exists until we look at old family photos. Anyway, all the pictures above were taken with my Nikon camera. I don't remember the names of every flower but I am sure you can identify the Easter Lilies and maybe figure a couple others above. We had a wonderful time and I enjoyed the whole 2 and 1/2 hours we were there! It was so enjoyable. Some parts seem like you are walking through the desert because although I didn't post a photo of it, there is a bunch of cacti in one room and in another room you feel like you are in the jungle with all these different tropical trees! The coolest thing there was probably the banana and orange trees! Oh and have you ever seen a sausage tree?!? I DID! LOL It had these funny sausage looking plants growing out of the unique shaped tree. Well I hope you enjoy these pictures and that God's creation will lift your spirits for this Spring!
Blessings,
