a garden update. the enchanted forest
a couple of weeks ago, Lily and i spent a lovely miami winter afternoon with friends at the enchanted forest
after the kids got to feed and ride horses, we went on a nature walk
the grounds were mostly green, filled with the most amazing trees covered in ferns and spanish moss (taking me right back to savannah) however, there were also some really beautiful wild flower fields
it was quite the enchanting afternoon
joining Annie for how does your garden grow?

Wow that looks such a cool place to visit as a grown up but imagine how awesome it must be to a child. I Love the twisty branches, really fairy tale magical stuff. Pretty splashes of colour there too. Wah why am I so far away from there?! *stamps feet and sulks*
Riding horses sounds fun too, though somewhere like that I half expect unicorns!
Thanks for joining in again Claudia, I love see where you go over there, seems like a different World sometimes it’s so different x

Hehe we do have lots of wonderful places here but I just love all the stuff hanging from the trees, it’s like your own jungle. There’s only one place here that does similar – where I take photos of the orchids 🙂
