Enjoy Duke University's Gardens


Photographing the Sarah P Duke Gardens of Duke University has given me tremendous pleasure. I had been told that Duke University is a beautiful place to visit, even if you do not plan on going to school here. You must take the time to see this incredibly beautiful place located just outside Raleigh, North Carolina. These gardens are only a glimpse of what this place is like. The grounds are spectacular, along with all the buildings, and the history is truly remarkable. Definitely a place to enjoy.

Visit San Diego, California

San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in California! It is well worth the visit. Not only is the weather perfect year round, but there are beautiful beaches, marinas, and water related sports to enjoy everywhere! Balboa Park and Gardens is a must, and Old Town San Diego is quaint and beautiful! If you have the courage and the time, cross over to Tijuana (preferably during the day) and enjoy some wonderful Mexican food and shopping! See Old Missions that have been there for hundreds of years and enjoy whale watching in the bay and out to sea in the beautiful Pacific. Just sitting and enjoying the sailboats sail the bay is exceedingly lovely.

Stroll Callaway Gardens

A visit to Callaway Gardens in Georgia will leave you as breathless with wonder as it did me. The flowers, nature, lakes and forests are spectacular. It really is a wonderful place to enjoy nature in all its wonder, throughout the year, but especially in the summer. Spending a day may not even be enough, but it sure will allow you to enjoy much of the natural gardens and enjoy the views. Wading through the shallows in  the lake will let you cool off your feet too.... unless you slip and fall in... in that case be sure your camera and phone are safely on the shore because you will get more than just your feet wet. 




















No, I didn't add the picture of me dripping lake water...... instead this is the bottom of the lake. It is lovely to dry off sitting in the sunshine by the grassy shore. Here is a link to the hours and directions if you are interested in visiting this beautiful place. http://www.callawaygardens.com/info/hours-directions.aspx
