My Goodness

After a week of trying to upload my photos to my hosting site, I've finally managed to get them to upload. Sorry for the delay, but it was worth the wait.

Have you ever been to the Botanical Gardens of Erie County? Well I strongly suggest going. It was so much fun to just wander around, see the beautiful gardens, and know that you don't have to weed and water them.

The Grand Entrance

We found this set of checkers nestled in a beautiful whimsy garden

The wishing well. It is right outside of an ivy love nook.

I had fun taking photos of the flowers and editing them with photoshop

Can you tell?

This is a Staghorn Fern. It clings and grows on anything. This thing is wild!

My personal favorite. Even before I found out its name is "Devil's Backbone"

I love this flower within a flower

A Nerve Plant-And my new background for my computer

We even found a movie character there...Shrek

Not that one...
This one, doesn't it look like Shrek's ears?

The cactus room was my favorite

Jeff's too, until he sat on one.

Would you believe they have a beautiful fantasy forest there? Check out these roots!

Aren't they gorgeous?

I felt like I was on the set of LOST

A great trip indeed. I recommend everyone going. You'll be addicted!

We love it there as well! My 5 year old spends so much time watching the fish and loving the dinosaur topiaries!
