Any time we travel Clint and I love to go to the areas botanic gardens. He is a science teacher and loves all the biology connections- as do I. We are both gardeners and this gives us ideas for our own gardens. I am an art lover and invariably botanic gardens incorporate sculpture and art. It also has the sun and green I crave and shade for the pigmentally challenged Irish hubby. We bot like the opportunity to play with our camera as well and we usually have lots of subject matter at a garden. When Abbi is with us she enjoys the wildlife- lizards and such. Caelun likes to be able to run and he can do that in a controlled setting at a botanic garden. It is one of our favorite places to visit and the McKee Botanic Garden in south-central Florida didn’t disappoint. Rover seemed to enjoy it as well. Sit back and we will give you a private Conley tour.
The rather dramatic entrance to the garden.
These were hanging directly over our heads – we had to duck to get under them.
This was a gecko – I took the pic. for Abbi.
Caelun would jump in to the water features if allowed.
Some of the fun sculpture.
Rover enjoys the green
Rover likes to look a the sculpture up close.
…so does Caelun
There were glass blown flowers every where.
Glass reptiles- more pics. for Abbi.
We had a wonderful lunch – Clint in the shade and me in the sun.
They even had Cae’s fav- peanutbutter and jelly.

Clint and Caelun take a break.
This banyan tree tipped over during hurricane Wilma. They lifted it back up with a crane and stabilized it with rods into the ground.
