T Stands for Tower Hill - Part 1

 

Nan, her sister, Nish, and I planned a day at Tower Hill Botanic Garden only they have a new name New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. 

I took a lot of photos so have split the post into two parts. I don't have a proper drink reference for today's post.

Just as I arrived at the parking lot, Nan texted to say she and Nish were waiting at the turtles. Instead of drinking the water, the twin turtles, Castor and Pollux, were having a water spitting contest.  Will this do as the drink reference?

This was part of an exhibit called Uprooted. Eleven natural sculptures by artist Gary Smith are scattered throughout the property. 

The garden had been closed during the pandemic. The staff used the time to make some changes and improvements like this boardwalk path Nish is following. She had surgery on her leg some months ago and still has some restrictions like only walking on flat, even surfaces. The paved paths were a nice surprise.

Some of the paths were paved with cork, like the material used on tennis courts. Nan had a bottle of water in her bag. Does that count as a drink reference?

I was hoping this little guy had a jug of water or wine. Nope.

Crushed grapes would make a juicy drink

Or a sip of water from this bubbler?

An elusive dragonfly.
