Botanical Gardens

4/15/15

     I had not visited the Botanical Gardens since a field trip in 5th grade. I do not remember it being anything like it is now. It is so much bigger, and there are so many more cool features. Now that I know how much it has changed and how beautiful it is, I will definitely be visiting it again soon.

     This gazebo had a tiny pond inside of it but it was not filled with any water. I was disappointed about that, but everything that surrounded it created such an incredible background for it.

     There was a tower along a path in the garden that we went on top of. Once on top, the view was breathtaking because we could see so much of the garden, including all of the blooming plants and trees since winter is over.

     At a part of this large pond, there was a tiny dock on the water surrounded by these logs. There was a great view of the rest of the pond looking off of this. The sky was incredibly blue that day and the clouds provide a good contrast for that.

     On the large pond, there was a waterfall that cascaded down one side and was surrounded by an array of multi-colored plants and trees. 

     This was one of the most abstract, unique, and awesome bridges I have ever seen. It was very well crafted, and I loved how they put tiny flower beds at every corner in the water.
