Continue reading →: A lovely afternoon in the Botanic GardensI went for a short walk around the gardens this afternoon and timed it quite well, though accidentally. I arrived just as the musicians started playing for the crowd at the Lazy Sunday event. So it was very pleasant walking around and taking photos.
