The Beautiful Brisbane Botanical Gardens, Mt Cootha

On Saturday, I ventured to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens to see my art friend, Sophie Munn's Homage to the Seed exhibition. I dropped in to see Sophie's amazing exhibition of art works and was pleasantly surprised as I could sit down and chat and participate in a bit of drawing while I was there. I had a little wander around the gardens to take in the attractions and came across the lake which was full of wildlife and lillies and surrounded by people picnicking.
I ventured up and down and around and around and kept finding lovely sculptures amongst the gardens everywhere I turned. My favourite was this native australian bee on a log which contained real australian native bees busily going in and out. I have 2 hives of these and am presently babysitting half a dozen hives of these bees for a friend and learnt a lot about their activities while I was there from a lady who can tell you what plants to plant to attract certain types of aussie bees, butterflies and other insects - www.earthling.com.au.
