Last Day

On our last day in Indiana, we went to the Wellfield Botanical Gardens in Elkhart.  It was lightly raining, not enough to stop us, just enough to carry an umbrella along.
These gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed walking the trails and taking in the late summer beauty.

This is the beginning of the trail that winds through the gardens.  There were several side trail you could go on as well.

There were many areas that invited us to stop and enjoy the beauty around us.






The statues scattered throughout the grounds were fun to see.




 A few close ups of some of the flowers.


This small waterfall pretty to see and to hear.


Even these ducks were enjoying this place.

When we finished walking around, it was time to head home.  It wasn't a long getaway, but it was very enjoyable!

You have a beautiful blog...and I also enjoyed your photography and recipe blogs. I love that your recipes are not complicated ones, but something that can be whipped up in a small amount of time! And they all look delicious.
