Last week me and my boyfriend went to the Arboretum and the Rock Garden at the Royal Botanical Gardens, which is located in Burlington Ontario. We go every year in May to snap pictures and just soak in all the loveliness and beauty of the blooming spring bulbs and trees.

It is so hard to choose where to begin...the arboretum, which has the magnificent Magnolia trees, or the Rock Garden, which has an unbelievable display of tulips, and daffodils. Last time we ended our day with a picnic at the arboretum, so it was decided ~ start at the arboretum.

The Magnolia trees were out of this world. When I walked within the 7 or 8 trees they have, I felt as though I walked in a room where the fragrant soft pink petals made up the ceiling, the floor, and the walls. It was so magical! I took a lot of pictures, but sadly the pictures don't capture the true essence of this experience.






Next stop...Rock Garden to see the tulips!

This is when I really wish I had one of those professional types of cameras with the long lense. But instead I've got my handy dandy lil' digital camera - but watch out, I know how to use it!








Mother nature sure is amazing!
