Looking down, or looking up, each hike on a trail brings discoveries.  On each of these hikes, many photos of the native wild flowers were taken, more can be found in the archives listed as - - - Watershed.  Enjoy traveling along some of the paths and trails all within an hour, many trails within only a few minutes of the Gardens at Waters East.  More facts and a description about the watershed that cradles the gardens can also be found in any number of those “watershed” postings.

NOTE:   Since this Blog is meant to be an accurate journal of the gardens;

no photos are “staged”, “arranged”, or ”photo-shopped” in anyway.

What is posted – is what it here.  It is what it is.
