An afternoon at the Jardin Botanique

Today I finally got around doing something other than work or school! A real activity! I went to the Jardin Botanique. And I’ve got 10 photographs to share.

I arrived at the end of the afternoon as I wanted to find some coloured trees to photograph. I don’t have time for a real fall foliage day trip so this is the best I could think of! In the Japanese garden I found some really nice red trees and all around there were lots of nice yellow ones too!

Nice contrast of the soft white with the bright red leafs…

I also went to see the pumpkins in the Grande Serre for Halloween. I thought it was classic pumpkin designs but they were all wacky, painted & made with props. I still enjoyed it (though it was very crowded with a lot of children)!

As the sun set I went to the Lanterns exhibition at the Chinese garden. The darker it got the more beautiful it was! And the colder it got too!

Both the pumpkins and the lanterns are scheduled until the 31st of October so you have a few days left to go!
