OREGON GARDENS IN SILVERTON

This was a wonderful weekend for me!  I visited the Oregon Gardens in Silverton on Saturday and the Renaissance Faire in Canby today.  Today's post will show the Oregon Gardens. It was a nice day to go view the gardens and I fully enjoyed it.
In the water gardens area I was giggling at a bird that walked across the lily pads as if this were the norm.  
Then I spotted a snake swimming in the water and I think he was hunting.
This frog was eating a fish or tadpole. I saw him catch it!
The different water features are so nice and listening to them so relaxing.
A few birds enjoyed bathing in the features.
There were colorful dragonflies darting all around.
Lots of little natural panoramas and a sea serpent floating by!
Beautiful nature everywhere...
I love the little hobbit house in the children's garden with front and rear door!
A variety of gazebos and seating areas are scattered throughout so you can enjoy the beauty.
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful gardens...
I certainly enjoyed God's beauty planted and cared for in this garden!
A lovely, peaceful place to remind you to slow down and enjoy the little things.
