Father's Day 2012 Botanical Gardens

Father's Day - Warning, self indulgent post with lots of pictures.
Admiring Yarn Bombing, Lygon St, Melbourne
 Sipping delicious coffee at my favourite Cafe, Tiamos.
  A picnic in the Royal Botanical Gardens
  
 Enjoying a cuddle with mum. 



Climbing trees and admiring elephants. 

 Trying hard to resist riding an elephant.

   

  


  

  Bees making stalactites.




  Bonding with the trees and climbing volcanoes.
















  


We love you bigger than a fig tree daddy!
Looking forward to cuddling my dad in a few days time!

  3. Looks like a great day had by all.......Love the pic of the family leaving the gardens with the city skyline in the background. And of course a trip to the big smoke wouldn't be complete without the favorite coffee..........

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.
Margaret Atwood

“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead.”
