Silhouette (157)

*

A view from inside the Children's Fantasy Garden (an exhibit at the Rio Grande Botanic Gardens). To quote from the Botanic Garden's website: "A fourteen-foot high dragon guards the entrance of the Fantasy Garden that gives children a mites' eye perspective on the garden. Giant rakes, hoes and watering cans are tools used to tend huge potatoes, onions and carrots only Superman could lift. Huge bees pollinate enormous flowers, and six-foot earthworms burrow through soil. A walk-through pumpkin 42 feet in diameter and two stories high is the centerpiece of this fun garden."

WOW...what a shot! I left Linda there to deal with this overgrown arachnid and I am glad to know now that she made it out alive to tell the tale and show the pic!!

(Can't wait to show it to Lindsay, the spder lover (NOT) in our family.
