Conservatory

No Orchids this time....in fact there seemed to be less planted then normal

 

Fairy house

Main room.... lots of color from Azalais 

Miniature Hostas

I call these Donkey Tails....I don't know the real name but this one was a beauty

Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory

 

Walking into the conservatory from the very cold outside, you are surrounded by warm, humid air. Feels so good but also steams up my camera lens....lol

Belle Isle in Winter

 

    I choose a very gloomy and bitter cold day to visit Belle Isle. It was good getting out though and I didn't stray too far from my car. I did visit the conservatory which was worth the trip. There is nothing like a cold winter's day to appreciate the warmth and humidity of this beautiful place. I'll be posting photos from the conservatory soon.

Lake Erie

 

I took a ride down to Lake Erie Metropark to get my 2025 park sticker. Everything was so gray and gloomy. Ice on the river....no ships this time of year. The only signs of life was one lone Great Blue Heron that you can see off in the distance. I didn't take my camera so these pictures were taken with my phone which explains the poor quality plus it was so dark and gloomy...... good to get out though.

  Muskrat lodges?
