Sarah Duke Gardens Day Two

We returned to Sarah Duke Gardens, with hats and water.  This garden is recognized as one of the premier public garden in the United States, renowned both for landscape design and the quality of horticulture, each year attracting more than 300,000 visitors from all over the world.


When we hit the round about this time, we headed straight to the Terrace Gardens.  We had a map and got additional information from a docent.


There were beautiful flowers,


on each terrace.

















And flowering trees.


One more bridge for Addie.


Then to the lily pond.


Bob and I at the pond.


The flowers in the pond.

















We then took a rest and Bob watched birds.


We sat in a beautiful gazebo, check out the roof.




















As we took the trail to the parking lot there was more flowers.


An open area.


One more round about and we hit the parking lot.


I know, I know you are on overload with the Gilmore's blog.  I am sorry there was so many, but we had a very bad thunder storm and Internet was out for also a week.  I will slow up now.  Only a few more to catch up but they will wait till tomorrow. I also decided the good thing about a blog.  It forces your family and friends to watch your vacation pictures.
