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...

I visited a wax museum there back in the eighties when I lived out there. I don't remember if this is the same one. Of course there were different wax figures at that time.
Snoop dogg wasn't even born yet!

DK, I had a blast on my trip. It was too short though.
Rainfield, she sure is.
Icy, Marilyn was located outside the exhibit where all the other impersonators were milling around so at first glance I though she was a Marilyn impersonator :) That's Hollywood for you.
bessye, LOL! Snoop dogg looked amazing.
Glynis, They are too clever. She looked astonishingly real.
Ratty, they really do look so real. This one was the best I've seen.
