Almost Wordless Wednesday

9 days,

Never ending nature walks,

Many pictures,

lots of videos...

Most important are all the memories we made and

we can't wait to share some of them with you!

 

Thanks to Comedy Plus for hosting the

Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop!

 

Indoor Nature Friday

 OK, did someone press the September Fast Forward Button?

I can't believe we're a week away from the last Friday in September!

(Don't forget YAM-Aunty's FFF next week!) 

For the first Autumn post of 2022, I am going to show some of the nature pictures I found on Mama's phone from her Weekend Getaway to Nashville, Tennessee! These are all from the hotel where she stayed. I heard her telling Daddy the Gaylord Opryland Resort was bigger than many of the Casinos they had stayed in Las Vegas with a Conservatory rivaling the Bellagio

Here are just some of the flowers Mama found:

 

 

The Costus barbatus or "Red Tower" Flower is a member of the Ginger family, If this looks like something you have seen here before you are right! They are found in tropical climates like Hawaii...and Mama and Daddy remember seeing them and, of course, Mama took a picture of them (the post is HERE is you want to take a look)!

 

  

Here we have a Brassia

Spider Orchid. Isn't it interesting with the brown splotches?

 

The popular Bird of Paradise. This flower really does look like a bird!

 

 

 Some classic Purple Orchids

 

 

Such a beautiful (Aechmea Fasciata) Bromeliad!

 

 

Here's another Hawaii flashback, the Heliconia, or

Lobster Claw Flower!

 

The hotel conservatory also hosts bunch of water features!!

 

There were little waterfalls with Angel's Trumpet flowers growing above,

 

 

 and streams leading to a large covered fountain!

 

 

 The most impressive feature was the 5 story waterfall

positioned just as you walk into the conservatory! It was especially beautiful early in the morning, before things got too crowded!

 

You could even go behind the waterfall....where I suppose Mama took this picture. 

She gets so artsy sometimes!

 

 Thanks for joining us for a look around the Gaylord Opryland Resort Gardens. 

We hope you all enjoy the first weekend of Fall, and everyone has a chance to get out to see some outdoor nature!!

 

Sunny Pupdate

 

 Sunny's surgery yesterday went well,

seems some of the soft tissue around her patella loosened up, but it's all fixed up and she will be home later today!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! 

 

 

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see the link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Travel Tuesday - Happy in the Twenty Nine Palms RV Park

 

 

 Today, we thought it would be nice to show you around the Twenty Nine Palms RV Park! We stayed here, in CeCe, while visiting the Joshua Tree NP and Palm Springs. We didn't count the Palm Trees, but we bet there were at least 29 of them!

 

 

 

It wasn't the nicest park we visited, but they did have some pretty sunsets! 

 

 

 We really think this was a great sign! 

Always have Pet Pride and make sure your humans pick up your poop!

 

 

 

 You could tell we were in the desert. There was LOTS of sand and not much grass. Luckily, both of us(Arty and Rosy) will do our business just about anywhere!

 

 

 

 They has a pretty mural on the electrical box. Of course, Mama insisted on a photo.

 

 

 

 

We spent most of our time out and about while we were at this park, but it was a nice place to come back and relax during the evenings!

 

We are joining Sandee at  Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!
