It had been a while since Anthony and I had visited the Atlanta Botanical Garden, so we decided to spend some time there today. Our membership is about to expire, so we just had to take advantage of it one more time.
So much for that bit of a "cold" spell we had last week--temps reached the 90s today. I took lots of pictures, but am spotlighting the pretty things I saw that thrive on a hot hot hot day like today.
These orchids might be my favorite thing I saw today. The color combination is exactly what my eye craves in the haze of humid Atlanta summers--hot, bright, unmissable.
The steam of the conservatory makes it easy to pretend you're on a tropical adventure in a lush jungle somewhere.
Post-Garden treat, speaking of tropical: Italian ice in Island Fusion flavor. Mango, coconut, and I don't know what else. Soooo good. Several years ago, they were handing out piles of coupons for FREE Rita's ice at Anthony's job. We're still working off of that stack! (It was a lot of coupons.) This really hit the spot after tackling all those hills in the blazing sun.
Back home, showered and rehydrated, I made a spicy veggie stir fry for dinner, and might paint my toenails purple tonight. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
