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...

When are we going on another photo shoot? I need cheering up. Let's do Chinatown this time.

Sarah, Thank you so much.
Doan, Thank you :)
I live in SF and often feature images from the city on WW, including today. Please do stop by.
Judy, yeah I was surprised to see those fish out there so I had to get a shot. They swam so fast I barely caught them.
cat, Thank you and I will drop by and take a look.
Martha, I live close by both - within walking distance so it's easy for me to get there. Thanks for coming by.
xoxo
Love the photos. I wish I can be there and sit quietly watching the hours while away. :)
