I got up at 5:30 so that I could be at the Botanical Gardens by 7:00 when they open for members. It was still dark when I got there, so I just walked around for awhile waiting for enough light to take pictures. I was surprised see some beautiful statues. A sign said they were getting ready for Halloween. Unfortunately, that turned out to be true all over the gardens. This was actually worse than when they decorated for Christmas. There were boxes of supplies all over the place. Some trails were blocked completely. Plus they had funky lights shining onto a lot of the plants. You will see it in the pictures. No matter. I had a great time and got a few nice photos.
