Sunken Gardens…

Yesterday was a gorgeous day, perfect for a trip to the Sunken Gardens in St. Pete. It was warm enough that the cool shady paths were very welcome, even in December. I have seen it referred to as one of the ‘old Florida roadside attractions’, and, at 100 yers old, as Florida’s oldest ‘living museum. It seemed that lots of people had decided that it was a perfect day to visit.

I haven’t visited at Christmas before, so the poinsettia tree was surprise to see.

Good thing there was a map, though we were lost a lot of the time.

A flock of flamings waded in the fountain.

Small waterfalls were tucked into the foliage..

And larger waterfalls too, with some impressively large koi fish swimming about..

The news last night was full of snowy images and I remember that cold reality. I think I’m right where I belong.

The one they used to have at Columbia Mall was in the center of the mall in a fountain. The two story ceiling was all glass. It was quite the sight.
