Feb. 27th and 26th

 Since this was my last weekend before school started  I figured  I would take a walk in Wellington's Botanical Garden. It sits up on the top of a hill so this is the scenery of the town through the trees.

 Some of the artwork in the garden..there is said to be some good fortune by passing through this hole in the granite.

 These flowers were found in the trees

 This theater is where they put on free plays as well as free movies (under the stars) at random days through out the summer time.

 The bark of this tree is covered in leaves that stick straight out instead of lying flat on the bark.

 As you can see there were many elements to this garden. Since it is tucked away on the outskirts of the town it seems small but once you are inside it could probably take you a couple of hours just to see the whole garden.

 As I was walking through town there were a couple of boys that were finding different places on the dock to dive off of. I felt the water and it was freezing! These boys were crazy. They were even jumping off bridges in the city to land in the mine cove where people were paddle boating.

 A little girl is in a inflatable ball playing in the water. I sat and watched her for awhile..she was having so much fun! I think that if an adult got in it it would sink in the water and bit, instead of floating.

 We spent our last Sunday going to the beach. It was very rocky and windy but very pretty. We found some very colorful sea shells too.

 View of the beach from the hike up an enormous cliff!!

 I'm amazed on how clear and blue the water is here

 Once we reached the top of the cliff we discovered World War II bunkers that overlooked the sea.
