Garden Beauty

During my weekend with Jalynn, we went to a local garden, and even though it was boiling hot out, we persevered (for a short while) and got some shots of the pretty garden.

It was so exciting to see a bunch of butterflies up close. 

I took many, many shots of butterflies, and only a few ended up in focus. That's the good thing about digital cameras - deleting!

There were also some lovely flowers, like these purple ones.

And these bright and sunny reddish orange ones.

If you haven't noticed, I'm very bad with flower names and find it easier to refer to them as the "purple ones" and the "reddish orange ones."

And then, inside the nice, cool, air-conditioned visitors' center, there was this funny frog statue!

The garden trip was definitely a memory, the heat standing out as the most prominent part of the afternoon.  But I'm so glad I got to go adventuring with my good friend!
