A few more....

Here are a few more pics of the Botanical Garden. They have different sections and it is over 100 acres with a restaurant on site. These are from the main entrance, the Rose Garden & Japanese Garden. The Rose Garden area seems to be the place for brides to take portraits and parents to take pictures taken of their kiddos. It was fun for us to watch all the activity that was taking place around garden.

I really liked all the colors mixed together.There were 2 giant frogs at the entrance to the Botanical GardenThis is at the Rose Garden part - all of the turtles - or most of them anyway on this rock. I think that we counted 22-23. In the very center of the cluster of turtles is a little baby turtle, but it is kind of hard to see in this picture.

This is in the Japanese Garden area. This is some sort of Sand Garden - I think. There were a lot of these ponds around with big Koi fish in them. You can pay 25 cents to get a hand full of fish food out of the dispenser to feed the Koi. It was really cool to watch these huge fish come and surround the one spot where the food was.
