The Beauty and the Beast

Al, the Gator takes a nap in the sun, seen in Magnolia Gardens


It seems he was following us by every step we did


Cypress roots


My favorite flowers in springtime are the Iris and the Wisterias



This is the view of the red bridge surrounded from wonderful waterways and blooming plants and bushes.

    Great reflection in the water Sue. Hope you didn't loose anything (finger, hand) where the aligators were LOl
    I love wiseria. Haven't been able to grow it myself as I don't have a garden as such just a small back yard with a few potted plants in. I dont think wisteria likes being grown in pots.

    Wow, so many nice pictures. I must confess that gators are one of the few things that scare me. I am ok with snakes, bugs and other such things. But gators scare me. Right up there with clowns. :O)

    I have those cypress root bumps in my yard. It is worth it. The trees are so pretty and do not mind the water at all.

    The wisteria is so enchanting. I always imagined them draping over the path to Sleeping Beauty's castle. I am such a daydreamer. :o)

    Take care,
    Tawnya
