Tuesday was my third trip to The Leaf…

they are making improvements all the time… it looks like they may soon have machines so you can purchase your ticket without standing in line…

we had a lovely time walking through the biomes… it was quite warm and humid in the tropical biome and there weren’t too many people when we arrived around ten am… by the time we left, just before noon, the place was starting to fill up…

the gardeners were working in the space cleaning up fallen leaves and checking the temperatures around the various areas… had a lovely chat with one of them…

I seemed to focus on orange flowers this time;-)… and I was happy to see the coffee beans even though I don’t drink coffee, lol…

love the banyan tree and got shots of a few others… can’t wait to watch them as they grow… and I found a couple of banana trees…

the waterfall is adding a lot of humidity to the space…

got a nice shot of the other direction from just under the waterfall…

and a view from the catwalk…

looking forward to more visits and to watching the areas change and grow…

Atlanta Day 1, big girl pants, Botanical Garden, Chihuly, glass, hot, humid, installations, W Atlanta-Midtown

met up with my daughter in Toronto… took a while, but we finally found one another… on the plane we were catching up with pictures…


once at the W Atlanta-Midtown, an excellent choice I must say, we had a bit of lunch…


the place is sleek and modern and hip…

then it was off to the Atlanta Botanical Garden to see the Chihuly exhibition… the weather channel said it was over 40 degrees Celsius… we walked about half an hour to get there, and then wandered the Garden for an hour and a half…


there are a number of installations and we didn’t get to see them all, yet… 

but this is why we came…


spent quite some time in this spot… there are benches throughout the Garden and here they were under a pergola with nice music playing… the sound of the falling water was peaceful…

another long hot and muggy walk back to the hotel… thirty minutes at plus forty is rather tiring… had a nap and found a great place for supper, the South City Kitchen… 


we asked a man who was walking by to take our picture and he happily obliged…

then back to the Garden for an evening walk to see the installations lit up…


we ended with a bit of retail therapy in the ABG Chihuly Gift Shop – where I did not buy the $8000 bowl that I really wanted…

below is the first Chihuly that my daughter saw when she came to Atlanta many years ago and which has led us to Seattle, Montreal and now Atlanta…


what a spectacular day it has been;-)…

big girl pants, dew, garden, humid, mow, squirrel, windows

it has been extremely humid here for a good portion of the summer… this is not the norm… well it wasn’t before…

for the last few weeks there has been fog or heavy dew nearly every day…

  
yesterday I took this picture of the front windows… first time it happened a few weeks ago I nearly had a heart attack thinking the seal had gone on the windows… not sure I’ve ever seen that before then…

  
this close up shows how thick the moisture covering the window was…

even though it was wet, decided to mow the grass in the garden because it was so long I didn’t want to sit out there… had the bag on and finished to discover there was nothing in the bag… had my neighbour come and look at it to see if the bag was on right… it had all stuck on the inside… so I spent quite a while scraping it off, lol… apparently I should have waited for it to dry up a bit…

the squirrels were busy… early in the day this red squirrel decided to have a snack at the front feeder…

  
later in the day either the same squirrel, or a relative, had a great time at the garden feeder while I was reading…

  
interesting because for most of the summer the grey squirrels have been the only ones I’ve seen…

felt under the weather for a good portion of the day, but was much better by the evening… certainly kept me from the gardening I had hoped to finish up…
