Thursday was still a bit chilly but we packed a lunch and headed to the Botanical Gardens. This was my favorite place. If I lived there and could have only one pass it would be here. (Okay, so I would probably end up with one to the zoo for my kids but for me it would be here.)
There are so many beautiful blooming trees and the tulips were blooming and it smelled so divine!
A picture may paint a thousand words but it can not capture the smell.
I took a million pictures so enjoy!
The umbrella in the upper left hand corner had clouds painted inside of it and water dripping from inside as well. It was like a reverse umbrella. All of these amazing orchids were in a big greenhouse building in a display called Orchid Daze.
The picture in the middle of the square above and the far right just above are of orchids planted in high heel shoes. It was so cleverly done.
The children's garden was a hit with a sandbox and playground equipment.
The gardens share a parking garage with Piedmont park a huge park designed by the same person that designed Central Park in New York. It was wonderful! We fed the ducks and watched this heron (bottom L corner) fly in and land on the edge of the pond. There was more playground equipment and the kids loved it too. If you make it to Atlanta you have to go here!
