Very nice...lovely to see all the animals enjoying the cool greens and placid waters of the park. Terrific quotes to complement the note cards, too. Thank you for your sweet words! You'll be able to link a little earlier than usual...a little after four this afternoon.
Oh I love these photos, Snap, because I love gardens and I love animals! :) I especially love the first pic of the turtles; I find them to be such interesting animals. I've seen Herons at our coast, but not one like this. The ducks are pretty and colorful, and the bunny is just adorable. All these would make great note cards!
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you have a great day!
Gracious, it looks like Marty, my rascally blog greeter rabbit, decided to come over and visit with you! I hope you fed him before you sent him packing, LOL.
A beautiful series of photos for nature cards Snap! I love the Anne Frank quote!

It's time for Vee's Note Card Party.
I have to admit -- this party is one of my favorite in the Land of Blog.
So many nice bloggers, beautiful photos, wonderful ideas.
A big thank you to Vee for hosting.
I've searched for four photographs on my blog that would make a nice set of note cards.
I think they will warm you up and perhaps bring a smile to your face.
They were all taken at one of my favorite places -- the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park.
Nature is profoundly beautiful in this garden.
We can't forget the critters!

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature."
~Anne Frank
