Hello all,
I had a lovely day today, I visited the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and this place is a gorgeous location (perfect for weddings) set on the back side of Piedmont Park. It’s not a huge area but has several gardens with different types of plants from several locations around the World. It also features a couple of huge green house type areas where the temperature can be controlled. A few rooms feature a.c. which is extremely nice, especially when these GA temps can hit 90 degrees around 1 pm. 
There’s also a few rooms that replicate dessert and hot, humid jungle temps so beware. Bring water and try to go early to avoid the worst heat. There’s statues and moving structures around the grounds. I enjoyed the balls that would move on a silver platter when you made noise. A little girl kept singing the entire time and the balls were moving all around the platter.
There is a new gallery of pictures from my visit to the Gardens. Please feel free to check them out at: http://www.lindseydawnsphotography.com/Galleries/Galleries.html
Hope you enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and good night.
Lindsey
I would like to post this to possibly get more attention to aid Myanmar in their recent natural disaster, the horrific cyclone that ripped through their villages and tore their lives apart. Time.com is reporting 1.3 million citizens of Burma are STILL (it’s been a month now) without aid.

Please donate to UNICEF and other non-profit organizations to help in the relief, recovery and rebuilding of this natural disaster. When donating make sure to donate to the organization that will donate the highest percentage of your gift to the actual cause and not their employees. And make sure they are a non-profit or 501 c 3 organization so that you may file this donation with your income taxes.

We can’t always stand strong but we should be able to count on our fellow beings for a hand every once in awhile. We have the strength to help, why not? Thanks for stopping by and please see the links below for some charities more commonly used:
