May 18, 2013 - San Diego Botanic Gardens, Oh My!

All things bright and beautiful

Fractals in nature

All flowers great and small

Fun with foliage

Today we spent six hours at the San Diego Botanic Gardens, and I expect if we hadn't worn out, we would have been there even longer.  We did get through the entire park.  What did we like the most?  Really, what didn't we like would be a more apt questions.  Cacti and succulents, garden herbs and children's gardens, gardens filled with bamboo and others showing native flora.  And the birds - hundreds and hundreds of birds. Especially the hummingbirds, which seemed to be everywhere, and a woodpecker bringing food to chicks in a nest.  (We sat and watched for quite a while.)  It was a wonderful end to our time in Carlsbad/San Diego - tomorrow we're off for the desert!
