Do I remember?

It's been so long since I blogged that I honestly don't remember exactly how this is done.  
In the past I've posted one or two pictures (sometimes more) and tried to do a daily blog.  That obviously doesn't work for me (as evidenced by the months or years that pass between some of my later entries).  So I'm removing all expectations from myself, getting rid of the "shoulds" and am going to post when the mood strikes!  Hopefully as I relax into this I will recapture my enjoyment of the process!
Lately I've been missing my friend Bonnie.  I haven't seen this sweet lady in almost 3 years! (yikes!).  The last time Bonnie and I got together we went to the Arboretum in Lexington, KY and spent the day with our cameras.  Today I found a similar setting at University Gardens (on U.T. campus).  Here are a few of the photos I shot.  I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Being outdoors, surrounded by beauty and nature does a heart good

I find peace walking a labyrinth...
 

The gentle sounds of a waterfall create a kind of hush...

A tranquil spot...


I am reminded of a few of my favorite things, like... 

The Smiley Face Rose....

the Strike It Rich Rose...



and the Double Delight Rose (we had this one in Florida and the fragrance is breathtaking)...


I had such a wonderful time visiting the University Gardens.  I look forward to my next day out with my camera... wherever the roads lead....

Thanks for joining me...
