USA, Cheekwood Botanical Garden, Nashville TN

#1 Post by chameleon0891 »

A friend and I visited Cheekwood this weekend. If you ever make it to Middle Tennessee and want to spend some time outside, this makes for a nice half-day walk. They change exhibits seasonally...the last one was an amazing Chihuly glass installation, but they recently changed it to a neat model train exhibit, complete with scale models of historic Tennessee buildings.

Of course, we had to make a stop at the Japanese gardens, and decided it was time for a costume change.

It's the perfect time of year for Dogwood trees.

We encountered a 5 foot long Rat Snake, sunning itself on a rock wall.

April and May are the perfect time to see Cheekwood! If you want to see more pictures, just let me know. I had a hard time picking ones to post!

Thanks, y'all :lol: I have so much fun toting her around. I'm sure there will be another zoo trip in the near future. I'll try to post it here...maybe Lovely Folklore will have arrived by then!

After being locked in the office all day, how lovely to see these photos!! I forget what the blue flowers are called, but they look just perfect with Momoko.

Hunnie - what if you dressed one of your girls as a student and took her to campus for a photo shoot? That would be neat - I don't think I've seen anyone do that yet.

My Dash after school Momoko is shipped today. Hopefully I get her tomorrow or the day after, the store also in California..the best part about shopping local is getting it quick.

I will take her to school with me and we can learn together.
