San Antonio Botanical Gardens

This past weekend was family weekend at Texas State. For most folks this meant football (they lost) and campus activities, but Ally had other things in mind! We decided to spend some time in nearby San Antonio. Ally had found a botanical garden that she wanted to check out, so off we went!

I decided to treat this as an inspiration day. I took my camera along and got some interesting up close shots of berries....

 And flowers....

 But the really cool thing was a special exhibit they had going on with legos! All of the following objects were made with legos and incorporated into the beautiful scenery. Like this huge butterfly....

 a gigantic bumble bee....

 Even a lawn mower!

 This rose stood about 5 feet tall....

 Some birds on a bird feeder (filled with, what else? legos!)....

 And even some cattle (this is Texas after all)...

It was an unusually cool weekend for Texas and a perfect day to walk outside and soak up the beautiful scenery. If you're ever in the San Antonio area, I highly recommend the botanical gardens!
