Bellevue's Botanical Garden is Just Beautiful This Time of Year

It’s funny how we can take local places for granted. We always think something is so close by,  it’s easy to go anytime.  But sometimes time gets the best of us.

I hadn’t been to The Bellevue Botanical Garden for several years.  Over the 4th of July, I had a friend visiting from Connecticut, so off we went to the Garden. It was the perfect time to stop by to enjoy the flowers.  So many of the flowers are in bloom right now.

Most people don’t think about taking a break and finding a quiet spot in the garden, but this man was enjoying the peace and quiet.

Check the Bellevue Botanical Garden out this summer.  It’s a beautiful place.
