New Daily Walk Record and Dahlias

Today, 24 April, I miscalculated.  I gave Carol a choice of a short walk through the Botanical Gardens with a shopping return through town or a 3.8 mile adventure to the South Parklands to visit the Japanese Gardens returning through town.  She decided on the short walk.

4.4 miles later we dragged ourselves back to our apartment; and I don't understand why it was that length.

Along the way we did enough to feed at least four blog posts.  For the sake of this post, I'll show the Dahlia Garden at the Botanic Garden.

The Dahlia Garden is also on the east side but sits alone in a big open area, frequented by lovers and picnicking families.

The dahlias are in peak bloom.
