Even with all my evening activities last weekend, I still found time for a nice walk at the Desert Botanical Garden. That's where I saw this perfect rose in the prettiest shade of lavender. It's called Violet's Pride. Isn't it a beauty?
Nearby the section of roses is the vegetable garden where I saw this rather nicely formed cabbage growing. Who knew cabbage could be so lovely to look at?
And I couldn't visit without a stop at the contemplation garden where so many birds come for a drink. I can't believe how well this shot turned out because the spot was full of people talking and moving about. This fellow only stayed there for a matter of seconds.
So my weekend consisted of the beauty of nature during the day and the beautify of the arts at night. All in all, a perfect weekend.
Cabage like a rose!
ReplyDeleteThe green cabbage really struck me as a sign that spring may come here soon. We are in for a snow storm tonight though!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bird is that, do you know?
ReplyDeleteThe bird is my favourite here.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I believe it's a lesser goldfinch.
ReplyDeleteYou had a perfectly wonderful weekend, didn't you? The Desert Botanical Garden filled the bill for beauty all around.
