Japanese Moon Garden Waterfall

-


I went to the gardens today to drop off my volunteer form. Yep, I decided since I'm there all the time I may as well volunteer for one of the many positions they have available so I am excited about that.

Of course I had to make the rounds and get photos and video. One of my favorite spots in the gardens is the Japanese Moon Garden waterfall. For months it has been dry but today after the rains and hail we've been having, the falls are alive and flowing effortlessly. I was so happy to see this so I took the photo above and a couple of videos below so you could experience the falls as well. Enjoy!

Such a beautiful place! At least winter appears to be headed for the exit in these parts.

That is just delightful, Jo. I find the sound of water so relaxing. But here's a chuckle for you. Your videos made me have to get up and go to the bathroom.

What a wonderful idea to help out at the botanical gardens! The waterfall is so natural looking and I love the mossy green color on the rocks.

A volunteer form!!! I can't tell you how excited I am for you! That's the kind of thing I only dream I could do. I've often thought if there is ever any chance at all of them doing something like that here, I'd be the first one on the list. I really hope this turns into something very fun for you. This is really great!

What a great idea, Jo, to volunteer. You will be perfect for them, you already know so much about the place and, with your love for the Botannical Gardens, you will pass that enthusiasm along to others.

Ratty, Yes, I was excited so I'm just waiting for them to call. I'll keep you updated.

Vanilla, I wish you could too :) Maybe someday.

Carmen, I hope it works out.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
