Checking out the gardens
We had to go and pick up some of my medication at the dogtors this morning and his office actually borders the Jacksonville Arboretum and Gardens so Mom said instead of the beach today we would go for a walk around the gardens. Mom wanted to check on the water lilies to see if they are flowering yet but it looks like it be another month or so before they do. We were also sad to see they have removed nearly all the cool sculptures they had scattered around previously. Hopefully they replace them with something new. The only one left was that fish one which is made from pix axes and bits of old metal - it is concreated into the ground which is why it still there :)

Water lilies?
ReplyDeleteGosh we have to wait until at least June for them in Scotland!
A beautiful backdrop for you handsome boys. Hope they add some new sculptures.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that you can visit pretty places in addition to your beautiful beach! I hope they put up more sculpture for you to critique this spring!
ReplyDeleteThat's a totally cool sculpture! Maybe they want to change things around a bit and will rearrange the others or something! That's great that they let you pups go in there.
ReplyDeleteCammie!

We got another foot of snow last night, so we are loving seeing a green garden today!
ReplyDeleteYour Mom finds the best spots.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they remove the other sculptures? Maybe you should point out that you did not authorize it!

ReplyDeleteIf you ever go to the Boca Raton area be sure to check out Flamingo Gardens where you can walk amongst spoonbills and storks and pelicans. Be sure to visit Morikami Japanese Gardens too!
ReplyDeleteCool sculpture, I think it looks like alien ants. You better be careful, maybe they bite.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about them missing sculptures, but we bet there are plans for something new and better!!!

Parks are good for a change from the beach sometimes, aye?? Long as it doesn't happen too often.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they removed the other sculptures. At least they left that one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful spot! We can't wait to see the waterlilies in bloom!
ReplyDeleteI love the sculpture! How nice that they allow dogs to visit as well.
ReplyDeleteThey probably change things up a bit to keep people interested in coming by.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty place! It's nice to go someplace different once in awhile. Love Dolly
