For Father’s Day early this month, Heather and Logan treated me to an outing at the Tulsa Botanic Garden.
I loaded up my macro lens and off we went. I love taking photos of the blooms as wells as the whole plant. I know very little about flowers but I love the colors.
I loved the colorful yarrow
And all the other flowers
Daylillies were putting on a show.
I couldn’t get enough of them.
Zinnias are always a favorite.
The garden arranged for several sports cars at a local museum to be on display as well. I love the Jaguar E type. Who doesn’t love a twelve cylinder engine.
Vintage Corvette’s are the best.
And an MG-TC. A beautiful car.
I posted this photo on my of my blog entries last week. I didn’t know what the deal was. I called the Garden’s office on Wednesday and they told me that these bison are moved down to the gardens as part of their Christmas light show. So I will have to check it out later this year. Mystery solved.
So I had a great Father’s Day.
I’m linking with Skywatch Friday and My Corner of the World
Beautiful blooms and I love seeing the cars. I remember when I was a kid, it was the Jaguar XKE that we all drooled over!
Love the display of flowers. And the cars are top notch!
…the Jaguar steals the show.
Your photos of the flowers are wonderful – add classic cars and it’s heaven
Good to know where the bison came from, now you’ll need to see them lit up! Lovely bright yarrow. I miss living near botanic gardens. My favorite was Tilden, in CA.
Fresh flowers and vintage cars! Wow!
Christmas bison! Straight from the North Pole, no doubt.
Lovely flowers.
Beautiful flowers, Cars looks clasic, Loved the post.
Greetings from India
What a great day with alle flowers and oldtimers (in german we say it for vintage cars). The red and pink yarrow I have in my garden.
Have a nice weekend
Your photos beautifully capture your special Father’s Day outing!
Beautiful flowers and I like those cars too.
Lovely photos. Take care, have a happy day and a great weekend!
Beautiful flowers and some classic vintage cars. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful blooms and cars. I wonder about the lily in picture #6; I’ve never seen those kind of markings on a day lily. Wonder if it’s another type of lily – in any event, it was pretty and I’ll just call it a lily.
This is our Canada Day holiday weekend and there are a lot of old cars about. There must be a show somewhere!
Not a car person, but whoa, those cars are beautiful.
Worth a Thousand Words
Nice treat! I love gardens and gardening. Learned about zinnias this year. They are so easy to grow!
