Maine botanical Gardens

May 2016

We visited the Maine Botanical Gardens last year, and it was definitely on our repeat visit list.  It was a lovely, is slightly breezy, day.  Since this was in the beginning of May, it was also fairly cool.  Here is Anne showing off her photography vest; lots of pockets to keep lens & caps in.
