i spent a lovely afternoon today with my friend Deirdre and her daughter M at the National Botanic Gardens. i was torn between stopping to admire and smell the flowers and capturing them on my camera before the day ended. half a day certainly is not enough, so i'm definitely going back there with the husband sometime soon, perhaps with a blanket for lying on the grass and a thermos of hot coffee!
i wish i can bottle up the freshness of the spring air and the gaiety of the flowers because it'd be something i would love splashing on myself every day.
the garden is open for everyone - there's no entrance fee and there's a lovely cafe close to the entrance gate which is a wonderful treat to cap your day out.
if you're in Dublin, the National Botanic Gardens is about 10minutes from the city centre and there are a few bus routes that can take you there. click here for more information on how to get there.
will post more pictures soon!
have a great day everyone!♥
