All of these photos were taken by me on Monday during my visit to the Botanical Gardens. I planned on this just being a Wordless Wednesday post with photos until I visited the Gardens website and found that due to budget cuts etc... the gardens will fall to demise unless they begin charging an entrance fee. There have been mumblings and rumors about this over the past year with a lively debate. Now you all know that I am there on a regular basis. If it has to permanently close I WILL NOT be a happy camper. The gardens have always been free unlike all the other venues in that area to include the DeYoung Museum, The Academy of Sciences of which you almost have to be a millionaire to afford their entrance fees, The Japanese Tea Garden and the Conservatory of Flowers. My position is that the Botanical Gardens should begin implementing fees. Why not? Everyone else charges fees to maintain their venues. If you buy a membership to the gardens which is as low as $60.00 per year, round...

lizzie, you're probably right.
Liza, Yep, it has that allure for everyone.
zorlone, It's probably the cheapest and most fun form of transportation around.
Brillie, I hope so too. You'd love it there.
Carmen, you have a point there.
Icy, Yeah I got photos at all different times of day. The ones in the evening however did not come out that great so I didn't post them.
betchai, You would really enjoy it there especially on the outlying islands where you can hike.
Ratty, it's so much fun that I would ride it back and forth from the island and Kowloon at least two to three times a day :)
rainfield, I know I probably would so maybe one of these days.
Stacie, glad you enjoyed it.
Tes, Thanks for stopping by and next time I'll have to try some of that medicinal tea :-)
