Sometimes it takes very little to go oh so far away, like a trip to the rain forest for example. On a recent adventure to my local botanic gardens I did just that.
I was whisked away as exotic brightly colored flowers popped out from every corner...
... large fronds and palm trees swayed high above my head...
... while orchids hung from the tree branches...
... and exotic poisonous frogs came out to say hello (safely contained in a proper enclosure of course). Botanic gardens are a wonderful place to see what the rest of the world looks like with out having to travel so far, Japanese gardens, wild prairie grass lands, it's all at there. And as the weather cools down its great to head indoors like I did and go somewhere tropical.
Where are you going to travel this winter?
