leaf me here…

during the fall, make sure you remember to look down…because all that beautiful foliage falls. Sometimes, perfectly.

the sun shines from within

i found these waterlilies at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens yesterday. Birmingham has a cold snap right now. The nights got into the mid 20s, the cold didn’t effect these beauties at all. ~amy

oh lily, see how you float?

i think the inside of these waterlilies look like they belong in tropical reefs…i can just picture Nemo hiding inside of one. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

how immature of me

Yup, I couldn’t help it. When you leave cotton on the plant & in the rain, the cotton looks like Santa beards.

DANGER from a poinsettia Christmas tree?

The Botanical Garden’s greenhouse has been under construction-FOREVER! I miss going inside very much. I found a lot of peace there, a bit like Mother Nature’s Church. My spirits were lifted by the tree because that must mean they are getting ready to reopen the greenhouse in December, right?!
