Botanical Gardens

We spent a great day with friends at the local botanical gardens. What a shame that Mark and I had never been there. The trees are dripping with flowers, the air filled with butterflies and dragonflies, and the ponds and grounds covered in beautiful trees, plants, flowers, frogs and lizards. The weather was perfect, so it was a great day to take in some nature.
