I have been trying to get back to the Gardens for the last couple of months and just didn't seem to get to it. Last summer, this was the first "tourist" thing I did after I got here in May. This was a nice way to get my daily walk in on Saturday..
The top picture is a life-size bronze sculpture of an artist in the Monet Garden. The dog belonged to one of the volunteers who was working in the gardens.
Misc flowers along the walk.
This water lily is my favorite picture of the day.
They have added a model train area in the gardens since last year and it is pretty neat. There is a circus train (top picture), a freight train (middle pic) and a passenger train. The bottom pic is one of the villages the track goes through. Altogether the train area covers a pretty large area.
One of their major fund raisers each year is selling Adirondack chairs at a silent auction. The chairs are all painted by local artist - one chair per artist and the chairs are scattered throughout the gardens. In case you are wondering about the rope across the arms, it is to keep people from setting in the chairs.
