A Day in the Garden!

A beautiful pond with heron sculpture is a wonderful meditation area at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens.


This "dinner plate" hibiscus attracted photographers and amateurs...like me!

I would love to "capture" a pair of these frogs for my yard art! They stand about four feet high and have a joyous aura! There is one at each end of a long rectangular pond in front of the Botanical Garden's flower center. They always make me happy and put a smile on my face!


It's a glorious autumn day and I wanted to share one of my favorite spots in Fort Worth....the Botanical Gardens. The fountain is on one of the "small lakes" throughout the garden. The lakes are full of turtles and Koi. This is a long shot of the rose garden and the path to the first "lake".









If I want to experience nature in the city, this is the place to linger......


....and catch a little sun!
