Gidday, y'all n'stuff.<br /><br />Ah yes, I love gardens, botanical gardens are very nice. You have made me think of all the public gardens I've been to. That one you have showed us in Atlanta, along with your accompanying muses, is right up there with best. The botanical gardens and your musings, of course.<br /><br />I have been to Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island and it was well neat. Nothing like a nicely trimmed bush.<br /><br />The lawn ranger rides again....klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-52666235314627181532013-08-01T17:54:30.429-04:002013-08-01T17:54:30.429-04:00Thanks for sharing these amazing photos!
