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!
Loved the pictures especially the second one...Its s beautiful!

DeleteWhat a beautiful place this is! Looks like an ideal place for a picnic with friends or reading a book! Congratulations, Kathy for completing the UBC with flying colors! Yay!! :)
ReplyDeleteShilpa, 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! ♥
DeleteCongratulations for making it through the challenge! The pictures are great. I particularly like the one of the brook. It's beautiful, and you say you have this botanical garden in your community? You are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteLuchiec, Yes this botanical garden is just north of the town I live in and it is a blessing and equally beautiful in all the seasons. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
