Maymont in May

Yesterday we went to Maymont Park in Richmond. I had been to the Nature Center and Children's Farm with my class a couple of years ago, but neither Drew nor I had been to the Italian or Japanese Gardens. They were absolutely beautiful and we had a fabulous day walking around. I'm not sure Makenna really knew what she was looking at with the animals, but she was amused, nevertheless.
This is at the Italian Gardens. There were a ton of different photographers taking pictures of this shot, so I took one too, just to fit in.
The famous Mann self-portrait.
The Japanese Gardens were amazing. Everything was so serene; we even saw a relaxed lizard on a stone. These circles made me a little uneasy, though. Survivor came to mind with people balancing their weight while running across them. Lucky for me, they don't move.


Such a fun day. Too bad it took us three years to finally come and see this. Ah well. Better late than never.
