Five Fabulous Figures

I am going to highlight some more of my visit to the Norfolk, Va. Botanical Gardens in this weeks Friday memes. To see more of this amazing exhibit (Lantern Asia) click HERE. All structures are made of wire with silk fabric stretched over it with some other eco-friendly elements added.

I am joining in today with Willy Nilly Friday , Five On FridayFun Friday Favorites , and Today's flowers 

                                 1. Children scampering around the colorful peacock. 
                                        

2. Such colorful butterflies and flowers.
                                               

3. Mt. Fuji 

4. Bugs and toadstools. They make me smile.

5. Not sure what this is!! But, it was huge, just look at the tree behind it to get an idea of it's size. 

And, so, those are five more of the fabulous sculptures and displays that were at the Gardens for 2 months. There is more to come. 
For the Today's Flowers meme... my flowers today are not real!! 
But, beautiful flowers nonetheless.

  3. What wonderful adventures you have to share! And so many of those things almost right at your door.

    The little bees make me smile, as well---those contagious little grins amongst the flowers. And I've seen several depictions of that huge white Merlion lately, even on the Antiques Roadshow.

    Happy Mothers' Day!
