Okay....back to some vacation photos. Quilty things have taken place but I want to go through more of the vacation photos in the next few posts instead. Sorry for the interruptions in that. The photos today were all taken at a really pretty place in Sarasota, Florida......Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. I am not going to write captions for them, but just let me tell you that their display of orchids and tropical plants is amazing and there are many other beautiful things to see there. It is right on the bay and there are benches to just sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The day we were there, they were setting up for a wedding that was to take place later that afternoon....what a location for it! (I'm sure it costs a bundle to have a wedding there, but.......it sure would be dreamlike...as long as the weather was nice, of course!) So......here are some of my favorite photos from that day. I think you should be able to click on them to enlarge them...and maybe even click a second time to have them show up GIGANTIC sized. I have about 200 photos from there, but I restrained myself from showing all of them!!! We really enjoyed the time we spent at this pretty place and I hope I captured the peacefulness of the gardens for you. I have no clue why Blogger is putting a big space after this written part and before the rest of the photos...sorry about that...just scroll down to look at the rest of the pictures.

Just beautiful Pat, thank you.
They are all so pretty, Pat! Don't you love the happy face on that man of yours, the obligatory "okay, I'm by the tree, now snap the picture already..." lol!
:-}pokey
I love orchids, but they don't love me. I can't keep them alive. I have a really good green thumb, but not for orchids. Beautiful.
Ah! Botanical gardens are so peaceful and inspiring.
Wow! They all are so pretty and exotic looking! I bet they smelled lovely, too!! :)
Your photos are beautiful!!! Some of them would be great if enlarged and framed!!!
Magnificent photos Pat. I can get lost amongst the flowers in these kinds of places.
Glad you had such a lovely time with the gr-kid-ling ...they just melt hearts, don't they.
Have a beautiful week my friend ~
TTFN ~

Hi Pat, what beautiful photos! I just got back this week from vacation to Atlanta and we went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. They have some beautiful orchids too. They were my favorite exhibit. I hope that you are having a good monday. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos! With Love, Delisa :)
Beautiful photos, Pat! I love orchids. I have many of them in my solarium.
