The Botanic Gardens

Fruit bats. Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney


Wisteria and Palms from the Botanic Gardens Restaurant

Was invited to lunch the day before Christmas Eve at the Botanic Gardens. So I spent a very pleasant half hour in the gardens photographing some beautiful trees (not shown here)

After lunch, I spent a considerable sum of money in the garden's shop. The excuse was Christmas. They had some stunning books (too expensive for me, most of them), some beautiful original botanic artworks (ditto) and other things (also lovely) which were a bit more within range. But there was no dross. (Or was it my alcoholic euphoria?)

(The bat photograph was taken just outside the restaurant facing the garden's shop.)
