Thank you Percy, I appreciate the visit and comment, and your nice words on this Gran daughter. greetings, Sarah

Thank you Steve, Yes Pine straw used abundantly here, for helping hold moisture to the plants weed control and for a well kept appearance. Yes, Delanie is strolling over this bridge to get to another area of the gardens for some more photos. All of us (family) were there with our cameras before she headed out for a Prom Banquet before the Prom... Other families began coming in after we there for photos.... Steve, this ISN'T a "town" garden, well anyone can go there, but it belongs to the Guido Evangelistic Assn. It is a quiet peaceful place, a small Chapel is located on the property, a statue, (you see it in this shot) of Christ, its just a spiritual type feeling when on this property! The fountain in this series is just outside the offices of Rev. Larry Guido, tho in bad health now, runs this place, he is the brother of the late Michael Guido, known World Wide for his devotionals, in print and on thousands of T.V Station! try going on internet and look for that name, Guido Evangelistic Association and read more about this .. This garden has appeared in some of my gallery on pano. you may remember some of the shots.
sorry this is such a long reply.

thank you for stopping by the Gardens for a visit, you would indeed enjoy a stroll here.! Its a great place for a walk, a rest, and enjoy the surroundings. and thanks for your kind words about this sweet g/daughter, she is such a delight! best of wishes, Sarah xx
