At the Botanical Garden
This morning I woke up feeling like I wanted some space and some nature, so I decided to head up the the Botanical Garden. First I walked to the mall to get a memory card for my camera so I could take more than 15 pictures at a time. I've been finding myself wanting to take more pictures, but my built-in memory would be full.
It's about a half-hour walk, and the first 20 minutes is directly up a steep hill. Three rest stops on the way for this little cardio-deprived heart! But once you're at the top the views of the city and surrounding countryside are spectacular!. These are not photos of that. I got the technology I needed, and took a short cab to the main gate of the Jardin Botanico. This was the smart place to take the cab, as it was hot, full sun, and a very dusty road.
The top two pictures are of the resevoir. As you can see, it is pretty much completely silted in, and now serves as a much-needed wetlands for bird habitat.
The third photo is looking down the canyon, same vantage point as the second one. If you click on the picture to enlarge, you will see the old, colonial water system that used to bring water into San Miguel.
I took the last picture on the way home. The parrochia is visible from pretty much everywhere in the city. I tried to take another better picture, minus the dead branches hanging into the screen, but my batteries wouldn't let me. Now I need to get more re-chargeable batteries, and I will take many, many wonderful photos and share them all with you! I do have more plant pictures from the Botanico, and I'll post them later.
