I had a little red tricycle when I was a child. I rode it straight into a hot steam heat radiator the Christmas I received it. I was only two, but man do I remember THAT!

Butterfly trap at EPCOT
Guarded by hungry-looking frogs, a little pot of butterfly goop floats atop a stick above a flower bed in the Butterfly Garden tent. Saw lots of varieties, including the zebra longwing, Florida’s state butterfly. It’s SO hot in there! Time to continue on…
OK, lesson learned – never gonna do that again!
Vehicle sweet vehicle – thou art a blessing, for thou hast air conditioning!
No shade to speak of on that route. Next time, we’re gonna run first and blog later!

A shady spot to rest
Here’s another gazebo, around the bend from the Japanese garden. It’s near the demonstration garden, a raised bed currently populated with vegetables. Also nearby is a huge heap of "black gold" or finished compost – smells heavenly. i miss gardening!

Lakes Park Fragrance Garden
Just beyond the community garden, a fragrance garden lies. Not smelling anything fragrant yet, but it rained heavily last night, which could be drowning out the smells!

Raised beds in the community garden
The garden is entirely a sea of raised beds, and there’s still some space left for more.
