Now then... as indicated on Sunday, there was a bit of an outing last week. Friday actually. It was a spontaneous thing. Dithered a bit, but it turned out bright and warm again and really had to avail myself of the opportunity. Benmore Botanic Gardens was the destination of choice. Less than fifteen minutes drive from my door. Today, being less speak day, just a few pretty piccies to whet the appetite (took over 200!!!). On Friday, come back to hear about something rather special which occurred as a result to listening to the inner voice... I so nearly didn't go!
(this was to protect against possibility of infection for certain pine species...)
Trust me... you are gonna be sick of the place by the time I'm finished....&*>

I was hooked on the video. Keep the pictures coming. Such magnificent trees and vistas. And, blue skies, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the huge trees, they are so tall! Pretty flowers and the last shot of the water is pretty. Keep these pics coming, I am enjoying them. Have a happy week!

NO WE WON'T.... OMD it is GORGEOUS.... Those HUGE HUGE spruce trees... they are MAJESTIC...
ReplyDeleteCrikey ..... how could you get sick of THAT place?? They even have a bath with NO water. How good is that??? All you gotta do is stand on it and your all clean?? Sounds like my kind of bath.

DeleteYes it is very clever - rather like a giant post office sponge!!! Yxx
What a gorgeous place! Each photo more beautiful than the last. The inner voice is pretty much always right - especially for those of us with meno-ears ;-)
ReplyDeleteA forest of tall trees, that's a wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteMerle..........
the photo of the single tree is great.. it looks like this tree is endless :o) we visited a treepark once too and even Easy had to use the foothbath... but there was no way that he walked over this mat... at the end we had to visit the park a lone while one of us waited with the pup in the car... not sure if he is a pure breed dod... there is some mule inside I swear :o)
