It finally decided to quit raining today, so we grabbed the camera and headed off to Leu Gardens to see what REAL gardens looked like. (Compared to the current sad state of mine…) According to the Leu Gardens Website, their grounds offer the following:
Harry P. Leu Gardens features three miles of paved scenic walkways that take you through fifty acres of southern styled gardens including:
- America’s largest Camellia collection outside California
- Three acres of idea gardens for weekend projects
- The largest formal rose garden in Florida.
- A house museum dating from the 1880’s.
- Two acre Tropical Stream Garden
- Vegetable and Herb Garden
- Butterfly Garden
- Palm, bamboo and cycad gardens
Of course, once I got there, the battery to the camera died and the memory card filled up. BAH! I went back to the gift shop and ended up spending 12 bucks on 4 AA batteries. Double BAH! I took some pics off the memory card and remembered that when I got it back from the shop recently for some repair work, that they put it back to factory default. This meant that all the pics saved were huge - and thus took up a lot of space. I reset the camera to save smaller pics and was back in business. Here are some of the pics I took.
Don’t even bother asking me what I took pictures of. I’ll be honest - I have no clue what half this stuff is. It was pretty and photogenic and had no sign. LOL. If you’re ever in the Orlando area, take an afternoon and head over to Leu Gardens. It is under 6 bucks to get in and is just a beautiful place to visit! Just don’t feed the alligator!
