Take a stroll with me through Eureka Gardens

in #photography6 years ago (edited)


Instead of sitting around the house this afternoon I was asked to go on an 'adventure.' When I asked where she would like to go, Eureka Gardens was mentioned - a place we visited a few months ago to take pictures. Since it's now Spring we figured there might be a whole lot more variety of flowers in bloom at the park so we packed up and headed out.

Surprisingly, I believe there were even less flowers and other things in bloom compared to our previous visit. However, there were still plenty of specimens in bloom for us to take pictures of. She was really hoping all of the orchids in the greenhouse were in bloom this time. On our last visit the greenhouse was closed for renovation but it was open on today's visit yet there were only a couple in bloom unfortunately. You can see the only flower that looked well taken care of pictured above.

Here are a few other shots from the short outing in the park today...

Great photos! I especially like the black butterfly. The honey bee is pretty nice, too!

No insects here... Freezing rain and snow tomorrow. It's definitely a Minnesota"spring."

Magnificent place and you took great photos :) I am so happy to see your post.

I just love Water lilies. Nice shots

The water lillies are definitely one of my favorites everytime I visit there!
