After a series of days that have been cold/chilly or windy or both chilly and windy, today was lovely. It was cool but sunny with very little wind. I had seen a notice in the paper that the Botanic Garden at the Albuquerque BioPark was going to have an exhibit of blooming bulbs. I thought, how fun and decided to go. When I got to the Botanic Garden, they had notices up that the Blooming Bulb display has been postponed. Since I was already there, I decided to go on in anyway.
I got some nice photos and had fun doing so. When you first walk into the Garden area, there's a large structure that's covered in vines. During the spring and summer months, it's a lovely green spot. Even now, at the end of winter, it's still fun to look at - to see the bare bones of the vines and the supporting structure.
They still had some leftover flowers from a flower display shown in January and February. Here are some of those.
The above are both cyclamens.
I have NO idea what this next flower is but it sure looks nifty.
Next up is a male wood duck chasing away another duck who was wanting in on some bread dispensed by some other attendees at the park.
Here's another duck going bottoms up to feed.
And here are a couple of ducks doing a nice circular pas de deux (web de deux?).
I hope you've had a nice day where you are.
