Wordless Wednesday- Wellfield Botanical Gardens


     Today is the last day of July and the last day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, and guess what?  With this post I made it.  I managed to post every single day…exactly 31 posts!!


      Yesterday my kids and I visited a real jewel here in my hometown: Wellfield Botanical Gardens.  While the kids busied themselves finding everything on a scavenger hunt tailor made for them, I zoomed in my camera lens to capture some of the beauty around me.  To mark the end of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge, another month of NaBloPoMo, and Wordless Wednesday, I would like to share some of my favorite pictures with you!

    1. Shilpa, they don't really have facilities set up for picnics. I think their main aim is to have people stroll through the gardens and enjoy them, maybe stop and sit a spell. It is such a big relief to complete the challenge. Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥
