Kew Gardens


On one of the last Sundays in London, I paid a visit to Kew Gardens; one of the world's largest botanical gardens! It was absolutely gorgeous and there were so many types of plants I had never seen before. 


Euphorbia-so cool!






A walk up into the tree canopies for a "bird's eye view"


One of the many botanical greenhouses in Kew Gardens.





A field full of bluebells :)


A Golden Pheasant-never knew there was such a thing until I chased him around for his pic!


Magnolia Blossoms.


Donald and Dora :)










A cottage that Princess Anne recently hosted some friends for a tea party!


More bluebells :)


My favorite bench reads, "In loving memory of Ken and Mary Irwing who spent many happy hours here" :)




I found where the swans hang out :)


An open path.


Bamboo.


More Magnolias :)


An old Manor House; beautiful color!
