Happy hour! Wheeee!
Hamilton Gardens on a Tuesday 
After taking our Hamilton Lake photos Geoff and I  visited the Hamilton Gardens. Here are some pictures taken there.

We stopped at the tearoom for a drink and attracted the sparrows. At least Geoff did because he decided to feed them. But we enjoyed their company anyhow.

I love the red zinnias! Looking through your posts reminds me that summer WILL return eventually.

Hi Linda. Yes, they looked nice. Your summer shouldn't be too far away now. Spring will be there shortly - Dave

The little bridge has a Japanese feel to it, very nice along with the nearby furniture.

Some of these little birdies get quite bold at outdoor cafe's, don't they? I love feeding them too (smile). Looks like you're enjoying some fine weather where you are, as Linda said, it's gives us all hope!

Wonderfully sunny gardens and such a delightful little bridge!

An open air tea room sounds perfect, right now. Hurry summer!

Dave said...

Karen, yes, it does. Nice too.
Carol, yes they do. Quite tame in fact. Glad the sunshine photos cheered you up.
Fi, yes, thank you.
Hilary, yes, it was nice there. Your summer can't be far away now - Dave

A beautiful place. Nature does so bless us with her beauty.

Hello Dave,

especially the first 2 pictures I find very beautiful. I have all the photos in the enlarged views, and that bridge is really very nice about it. The red flowers of the 2nd photo.

You sit on a nice sunny terrace and I have more sense in the sun. There are as many sparrows with you, because they realize they take a course to ride.

Greetings, Helma

Hi Helma. Thanks for your comment. Yes, the photos look better enlarged don't they? The sparrows were very cheeky! - Dave

The pictures look great. You made me wanna be there and enjoy a cold one while watching the birds play near me. I love places like these where there's some 'green' around.

Dave said...

Yep. Maybe I would join you Joe? :-) - Dave
