In the Garden








H and I explored the Atlanta Botanical Garden this weekend with our Brazilian friend R. A student and Ph.D. candidate of H’s brother (in Amsterdam), R has been working on an internship at Georgia Tech for the past seven weeks. Yesterday was his last day in Atlanta, and we had offered to give him a ride to the airport.

Fortunately, his schedule gave us enough time for a visit to the garden. Inside the greenhouses, the plants were lush and the flowers were blooming.  Outside, most plants were still in sleep mode; yet, the earliest bloomers were beginning to peek out. Even without a lot of color, the amazing textures and subtle shades of winter were impressive.

It was hard not to be delighted with the company and the sights.
