My Weekly Walk in The Gardens.....Week 18, August 2, 2018

The Heat of August did not keep me from my weekly walks.

I was even amazed as I have started to down load the photos

that I still take a lot of photo's each walk. I hope this winter when the gardens are 

closed to go through and find places that I took a photo every week to 

show the changes of that spot. 

I'm not sure if I was a bee that I would crawl into these flowers, sometimes they

look like gapping mouths and how does a bee know that it won't get eaten?

I really like the colors and the different sized plants for this spot.

The Zinnias are beautiful right now.

The Humming birds like this flower.

Mama duck and her babies.

The Rose Garden.

Heading towards the Fragrance gardens.

The Wart Hog surrounded by Gazinnias.  

The view up to the Italian Gardens.

Here are the stages of bloom for this flower.

I love the color of this Lily.

A pretty succulent.

They have Snap Dragons by this sculpture.

I am amazed at how long they stay nice looking.

Well did you have a favorite photo?

My Weekly Garden Walk......Week 17.. July 26, 2018

I won't be putting a lot of written details in the 

blog posts.  I want to get as many weeks loaded and this winter I plan to come

back and add the names of the flowers. I hope you enjoy the photos.

This potted plant arrangement is just bursting out.

It's summer and all the flowers are in full bloom.  Walking in the gardens is so relaxing.

Heading to the Koi pond.

The Geese have left, but there is now a mallard duck family to see each week.

The Chocolate Cosmos bloomed all season.

I love walking around the secret garden, it's like being 

in the ruins of an old castle.

The view from the bottom of the Italian Garden.

Looking down from the top of the Italian gardens towards the 

Rose Garden.

I realized that I don't photograph the waterfalls often.

They are the largest man made waterfalls west of the 

Mississippi River.

It's nice to just sit and listen to the water running by.

Well do you have a favorite photo?
