Trip to Aldridge Gardens

We went to Aldridge Gardens right here in Hoover last weekend. We lucked out too because there happened to be an art festival there as well! Speaking of art, we both liked this sculpture playing on a common childhood tale...

The Gardens are known for their hydrangeas, and this is peak season in Alabama. There were hundreds of bushes in bloom.

Fran pondered the planters...

...while Katie pondered the lichen!

We can't make this stuff up folks. We saw these ladies enjoying a stroll through the Gardens.
