Garden in the Woods 7/16/2011

On the way home, rob, Erica and I stopped at Garden in the Woods. I wanted to take some pictures for their photo contest (I had a new tripod I wanted to try) plus it was just a nice day to be outside.

Mystic Aquarium

We stayed at Mohegan Sun for our anniversary, and decided to stop at Mystic Aquarium on the way home since we both hadn’t been there in years. I forgot how much I love it there! We watched the penguins get fed, watching some beluga whale training, and one of the belugas kept swimming up to the glass with it’s mouth wide open like it was going to bite you- the kids thought it was hilarious! And of course we caught the sea lion show too.

We also saw a bullfrog in the pond, and he was singing! I took some pics and made an animated gif out of him.

Garden in the Woods 5/22/2011

I originally drove out to Garden in the Woods- which is all the way in Framingham- to try and get some pictures of Mountain Laurel. unfortunately, it wasn’t blooming yet. But I got some great pictures none-the-less. It’s about a mile loop through the woods, where there’s a pond (with frogs!), a stream, and cultivated gardens of both native and rare species. I was very happy to see lady slippers 9and yellow ones, too). I had just commented to Rob the day before that we had them in our woods growing up and I hadn’t seen any in a long time.
