Mead Botanical Garden

Check engine light came on. On the way to work, Monday, May 4.  So I left early.  Dealer said they were closing in 30 minutes, come back tomorrow.  I left, with the intention of going elsewhere.  The light turned off and has stayed off.  Going back to work was not appealing.  I went to Mead Garden in Winter Park. The Bartram Trail sign is new since my last visit.  10 year ago

As is the above amphitheater

The venue I remember

Wood ducks

 

 

Restoration work

 A garden needs pollinators.  Viceroys  Not monarchs.  The thick back vein is the key.

Rain barrel

 

I think the pink bird is fake

 

 

10 years ago, when I was self employed, I used to stop here during mid week bike rides.

 The boardwalk was not in good shape then.  Worse now.

A very pleasant 90 minutes.  It is now June 7. No issues with the car.
