Retrospective of August 2014 - in 24 pics


As is always the case at Gardens at Waters East, more photos were taken this month than could possibly be posted in one shot.  Today the posting will limit itself to twenty-four photos that illustrate the wide verity of plants blooming at this time of year.  There are so many more that could be posted but enough is enough!
Enjoy your stroll along the paths.

  1. Hello Jack.

    So wonderful pictures of all the beautiful flowers. And I certainly would love to go with the "Peace Maker". Such a fine ship.
    Have you ever heard about "Tall Ship Races"? It is a race between the biggest old tree-ships in the world. I have seen it twice and have been onbord the largest in the world.
    Well, I wish you a nice weekend.
