Lovely weekend

Thus far James and I are having a lovely weekend! I won't go into all the boring details, but today we went for a stroll in Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, and it was lovely! Not a lot was in bloom, but it was still peaceful! They had some really cool gazeboes (sp?) and some awesome waterfalls. My favorite part was this yin and yang in an alcove next to a waterfall ~ see picture below! well I would post it, but it is doing something really really wierd!

This is a picture of Me and James, in front of the waterfall (the one that ran behind the yin and yang) :) I like this picture alot! I wish we could have gotten more of the waterfall in it!

This is the spider lilly... It is really pretty, and looks nothing like a spider! Who would name such a beautiful flower after such a hideous creature???

This is James climbing a fallen tree... look he is king of the mountain! :)

Then they had a Koi (large goldfish) exhibit, which prompted me to say "awwwww, we should get a fishey" and low and behold, James had an unassembled fish tank, which we decided to assemble.

We went to the pet store and bought some el cheapo fish to get the tank started, something about getting the ph right, and the right amount of fish poo in the water, to make it stable enough for the more expensive fish. I named them, Nemo, Dori, Crush, Marlin, and Flounder... yeah I have a disney thing!

We cleaned all the gravel, the tank, the filters, everything, and now we just have to wait! Even to put the cheap fish in, we have to wait till the water settles and reaches temperature! I guess it is okay, but I am sooooo impatient! Anyhow, mostly I think I just had a good time doing something constructive together! Something that we took and made our own. We are now proud owners of fish. :)

So I guess I am going to try to upload the yin and yang picture from my photo bucket account, and there is a really cool waterfall one too. They are posting like microscopic size, in the corner of really wierd gray scale pictures. Pictures neither of us have ever seen before. Seriously wierd... lol!

I love the photos they are fanatastic and so beautiful.
Jonathan and I have been to a few botanical gardens, some in Australia and some in the USA, all have been so beautiful and we found it to be a peaceful and romantic time together.
Love the fish tank!
Nice to see James and that gorgeous blonde behind him!
