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...

We must have enough of them to be captured.
Rainfield, LOL!!! That should be your next challenge. Capturing all the beautiful women in your neighborhood on camera :D
The early birder, Purple always spruces things up, thanks for visiting

Thanks, Mumsy :)
I went out this morning to take just one or two pictures of some flowers and ended up with 68 instead!!!
Snap, :) thank you.
Carmen, LOL! I took all of these shots weeks ago.
Bossy,I don't know their names. Like you though, I do the same. I'll intend on a few shots and end up with hundreds :D
Today I received your book, it was really fast! The cover is brilliant, one of the best I've ever seen — as regards Carmen's book cover... I already wrote to her... :D. "Writer's Block" caught my eye instantly. I'll read the book slowly, then I'll try and write a review.
Pam, thank you, it was so much fun taking these shots.
fini, I took all of these at the botanical gardens so there is so much variety. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
