Inside the Botanical Gardens, not as hugely interesting as I expected. The building itself was probably the most interesting bit!
Yellow tulips at the Botanic Gardens, April 2012 (with the Kibble Palace in the background) Glasgow, Scotland.
I recorded this 2 hour solargraph today with my tiny tin pin-hole camera. It was hazy sunshine until the sun completely disappeared behind the clouds!
It was my grandmother's 80th Birthday on September the 3rd - last Saturday, and given that she has lived in Newport for over 50 years I wanted to gift to her the photograph "Sunrise Over Newport." I went by the developer I usually go to on Thursday the 1st expecting an hour develop.... I ended up picking it up 4 days later on Monday the 5th. Apparently there's only one guy who can develop film and he was sick. This just makes me want to try and develop my own Black and White film.
Another of St. Louis' gems, located in an urban neighborhood accessible by public transportation and surrounded by beautiful old homes.
By contrast, the Chicago Botanic Garden is 30 miles north of Chicago in the upscale suburb of Glencoe, and is a substantial walk from either the nearest bus stop on Green Bay Road or the nearest Metra commuter train station.
My wife and I took a wee trip to the Botanic Gardens today. Some really nice flowers and roasting greenhouses!!

Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden
Over 1,800 species of tropical plants including orchids, banana groves & more in a tranquil setting.
Papaikou (near Hilo), Big Island of Hawaii.
A really nice garden. It did cost $25 USD per person to enter. I'm not sure I'd pay that again, maybe once, but you can see the natural beauty of Hawaii in so many places that doesn't cost anything.
Worth it for one unhurried visit. If you're just passing through, and don't really appreciate the diversity of different plants, probably not worth the visit. It's basically a trek down the hill, to the ocean and back up again.
