Weekend away

I have been gone since last Friday, my hubby took me to Arkansas for my birthday weekend, he had read about a pretty garden there called Garvan woodland gardens, and that there would be blooming Daffodils and Tulips, the temps were a little below what he thought they would be but it was just perfect in the 60's.

The trail through the park was almost 4 miles, now let me just say I haven't walked 4 miles all at once since last summer or fall and oh boy was I way out of shape, but I still enjoyed it so much it was the best part of the trip and it was the first thing we did the morning after we arrived.  I will post about our trip to the gardens in between posting cards.

This park had many beautiful waterfalls throughout so you were almost always coming up to another and I just love the sound of water flowing so I loved that part too.

There were many blooming bushes and trees too so that was such a nice surprise.

They had a really easy to walk through path and then more that was like this one that you could take if you wanted to explore more.

A lot of the trees had buds or leaves just forming, there just isn't anything like spring after a long winter.

This tree was leaning over the pond and it was so white that the area under it just glowed.

This was one of the biggest waterfalls, the others were smaller.

Are you seeing pops of spring where you live?  To those of you who visit from Australia, I appreciate that you share your summer photos when we are going through the depths of winter, reminds me that soon we too will be enjoying beautiful flowers and warmer temperatures once again :)

Thanks to those of you who gave suggestions on what to write on the inside of my cat card too, I will write them all down and use on future cards too :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
