My Ballarat

 Yesterday I went for a lovely walk in the local Botanical Gardens.
 I am always delighted at just how beautiful they are.  A lot of work goes into maintaining them, and I really should walk through there more often.
 My main motive was to look inside their glass house, and see what they had growing in there.  I thought it would give me some ideas for mine.



 It is a magnificent structure in the gardens and it was just lovely inside.  I sat on the comfy chairs for awhile just 'drinking' it all in.
 I have water Lillie plants in my garden fish pond, but I have never been lucky enough to get a flower.  These were just beautiful.





 The sun was shining, and the band was playing music in the park across the road.  It made for a very pleasant afternoon in the gardens.

I think I'll go back again another day.
