G is for Glasshouse

A couple of weeks ago I asked you how I was going to turn Birmingham Botanical Gardens into G...

Well now you have the answer :-)

I am off out soon for another Trade Union meeting where they will be discussing one of those thankless last minute tasks where I will be expected to produce some slide show or other! Whatever it is it will be something that can't be done on my computer at work.

But I shall leave you with something much more pleasant. Photographs from the glasshouses at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Thanks so much for this and yes.agree with the comment about the job you do. Guess it pays more than photographs! LOL! We can all dream.

I did think for a flash that you had been Prison Visiting - momentary, I promise.
I used to huant the glasshouses in Singleton Gardens in Swansea... the smells.
That spiral staircase is really full of photographic potential.

Garden is a great g word. I'm noticing that each garden is so different and yet there is a common beauty.

I'm glad you took the time out of your busy schedule to share these photos with us!

Ginro said...

[As 'gorgeous' is occupied']

G is for galactic. :)

The forth photo could almost be a Monet. Like it.

Lovely photos. You can feel the relaxed atmosphere of the place.

What's that fruit hanging down?

CherryPie said...

Bear, Crashie, Lesley, Welshcakes, Gaz, Columbo, Tommy, Kim, Richard and Calum - Thank You :-)

Damon Lord - Thank you, not sure I am that good but it would certainly be more interesting than what I do now ;-)

Aileni - Oooh! heck I hope not!

Thanks Eve :-) I nearly didn't post it, I thought it was just me that found it a bit intriguing!
