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...

My WW.
Liz, Thanks for stopping by and a happy WW to you as well.
Icy, yeah the photos do not do it justice. It's awesome in person.
Carmen, I saw many Tuts shaking it in Hollywood :D I'm so sorry about your Mom but it's good you are staying with her now. Are you canceling India?
Margie, No I did not think of you or the Margiedales. I was so overcome by Superman I couldn't think straight the entire trip :)
Rainfield, I definitely want to tour the inside one of these day. Thanks for coming by.
Ratty, really? I'm going to have to thoroughly peruse your site :)
Ayie, It is gorgeous.
Margie, that's quite alright. All I have to do is buy Carmen a drink and caboose stories come to life :)
