This weekend we took a mini-vacation to Wichita, KS to catch up with some friends. While there, I had the best interactive zoo experience at Tanganyika Wildlife Park. This is a really unique park that promotes education and conservation, and encourages interaction. Yes, interaction! That’s what makes this zoo unique. I’ll be sharing several photos over the next several days.
This beautiful scene reminds me of something Monet would have enjoyed painting – minus the water lilies of course. (Those were in my photo from Wednesday.)
Question: Does anyone know what the little pink flowers are in the foreground? They remind me of poppies, but I thought they were red.
Why, hello little guy!
If you took a guess at yesterday’s photo, the correct answer is the Chapel at Powell Gardens just outside of Kansas City. Powell Gardens is home to this chapel, several types of flower gardens, fountains and water gardens, vegetable gardens, trails, and so much more. It’s such a beautiful place to visit that I’ve got about a week’s worth of photos to show you!
Thanks to the former homeowners, we have a beautiful rose bush blooming in our front yard!
I love this bright, beautiful (and interactive!) flower growing in my garden. Do you know what kind of flower it is?
In case you missed the others this season….
The petunias in my back yard are booming right now … or blooming like crazy … however you want to say it. They’re gorgeous. I wish the ones out front were doing as well. Either they need more sun or they like to be close together. Anyone know the trick?
One of the benefits of our new house is the beautiful walking trail and creek right behind our house. Who knew Missouri could be this pretty?
I’m proud to say this pansy is part of my flower garden. It’s the first time I’ve been able to say that, since this is first year I’ve had a house and a garden. Here’s to keeping it alive!!
In case yesterday’s photo wasn’t bright enough, today I bring you to the center of a bright yellow tulip.
