After lunch, Cheryl, her daughters Ashley and Amee, and I decided to visit the Atlanta Botanic Gardens.
It was the perfect time of year to be there.. Not too hot and humid, but not cold and Spring was exuberantly bursting out all over.
Atlanta is known for mixing man made objects with their displays. They have some beautiful pieces of Chihuli Art Glass out both in the outside fountains and in their hot houses.

They also gave created many larger than life sized living sculptures in their out of door gardens
like this 20 foot high earth goddess form which will soon be covered with living plants
Even their garden gates were imaginative, like the whimsical gate composed of garden tools which was used at the entrance to their vegetable gardens
Or the Koi gate at the entrance to the Japanese Garden.
The Atlanta Botanic Gardens really are a must see place to visit for anyone going to Atlanta in the Spring time.
