Wonderful colours. These pictures look almost ethereal. I'm expecting to see elves and fairies flitting among the branches.

It's beautiful, Jo...I saw little fall changes yet in GA...one 24 hour period of torrential downpour probably ruined much of that anyway. Wish I could have gotten up to the north GA mountains which are always so beautiful...by the way, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Laura, wrote and asked me to write a poem for their reception...I doubt that I can read it, though!

These photos show off some wonderful colors. I miss the leaves on the plants around here, but this time of year does reveal some new things that were hidden before.

jakill, I know huh? I sort of expect that at times when I visit there :)

Carmen, Thank you

rainfiled, you'll be the first to know when I find those elves and fairies.

Icy, thank you, yes that one is a fave of mine as well.

Thank you Cher, I wish I could paint :D

C, if you were here I would make sure to get a photo of you under that pink tree.

Ratty, Ah, very well said and I found that to be true at the gardens as well.

Diane, you would love it here.

Jena, it certainly does and inspires the poetic muse.

lina, thank you and I love the pink tree too.

Kat, actually there are websites like Cafe Press where you can do that. I'm too lazy to do that though :)

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...
