Mounts Botanical Garden


David and I went to the plant show at the Mounts Botanical Garden today. He was not able to attend yesterday. I brought my Canon PowerShot SD 800 IS to take some shots of the garden. I will have to return on another day for better shots of the garden because the plant show blanketed the beauty of the garden. I did purchase another orchid for my collection.

Beautiful! Love the Angel's trumpet -- such a delicate color. My friend has a yellow one in her backyard. On summer evenings, she sits under it with a book and a glass of wine. Surrounded by flowers. Ahhh...

i LOVE mounts. cor & i went there one day and it was gorgeous.

i don't know how much fun i'm going to be tomorrow. my plan is to try to get in for a massage - my hip is all out of alignment from this strain. i'll need to walk a little bit, to ease myself back into movement & be ready for work on tuesday.

i'm sorry i won't be able to do a serious park tomorrow, but i owe you. cor's on call next weekend, so maybe you & david & i can do something at some point.

thank you for checking in on me. *love*

I am a member of faichild's botanical garden, so we et into most places for free with that membership (2 year family membership).

If you need something tomorrow, let me know. I have no serious plans other than running some errands to home depot, costco, and publix.

if you want to do breakfast or lunch or even watch a movie, let me know. we have quite the dvd collection and have over 50 movies burned onto my powerbook.

Hi Joe! I was at Mounts on Sunday! Nice photos...I got some too, but only posted the shots I took of my ONE purchase! Come to my blog and see what it was!!! I found your blog while trying to find the ceramic pots lady (she had hand threwn pottery pots there)...I haven't found her yet, but am still gonna search! Take care.

Thanks for stopping by. I purchased three really cool East Indian style pots from the Spanish man who was at the show, several months ago. The pots are exhibited in several of my posts.

If you do not mind, what aspect of non-profit are you affiliated with? I am a Program Manager for a local child welfare agency.
