Atlanta Botanical Garden

On Sunday afternoon I strapped on my sandals and walked over to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which is located in the upper western corner of Piedmont Park. The park occupies a an expansive stretch of land and is divided into different gardens: a rose garden, a vegetable patch, a Japanese garden,a Southern garden, woodlands with a canopy walkway, and an enormous greenhouse with an orchid garden and a tropical garden. Come take a walk with me...



the canopy walkway in the woodlands



bright birdie

fragrant flowers



the canopy walkway from a distance
















the lady of the fountain





almost translucent



almost art



almost a leopard


a patch of New Caledonia


Tarzan? Taaaaarzaaaan?!



a poisonous blue frog from Venezuela



a secret message for my love



some plants are so unearthly they put Pandora to shame


popping up




popped



frilly fountain


(aren't I the queen of alliterations today?)
