Lovely Day in the Gardens = Lotsa Photos!

We have a membership to the Gardens in the heart of the city. It was such a georgous day, Marvy suggested we take advantage of it there. I used to think the only time to go there was during tulip season in early spring, but you know everytime I go I love it. Today was a perfect day. We were able to take some great photos, I just had to share.

Apology #1 - There are a bunch of belly pics... (it's kind of getting inevitable at this point) I'm sorry if this is sensitive to you. I'll understand if you wish to skip.

Apology #2 - There's a freaking ton of photos here. I'm too tired to censor myself, and too exhausted to remember how to get them to a photoshow. Sorry!

Apology #3 - Dang...these uploaded in totally a different order than I intended. It mostly should have been bottom up. Again, too tired to fix it. And by the way does anybody know how to move photos now in blo.gger? I used to click on them and drag them around, and it would automatically scroll but now it doesn't. If the photos were smaller I could have leap frogged them around...but the photo is the same size as the posting window and they aren't budging! So aggravating.

Oh, well. Enjoy the photos!



I know what you're thinking...these butterflies are so realistic looking! What kind of species of butterfly includes threaded rebar and ball bearings!

This was the entrance to the Bamboo Garden, it's pretty magical looking huh?

You know we should all have days where we feel beautiful, but we are human, we are women, and it just doesn't always happen that way. But today...I felt very beautiful.

This time next year, I'll try to take the photo again in the same spot...but with an eight month old!

Did I already mention it was a fantastical, magical, beautiful kind of day? This butterfly just says that all, doesn't it?
