(True Confession Time – This photo is a couple of years old. I am so ashamed! But how can you do a post about the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens without a picture of Carl Linnaeus? The rest of the photos are just a couple week old, honest, really, yes really.)
A couple of weeks ago I found myself with a few minutes to spare between engagements so I went through the Linnaeus Teaching Gardens at Woodward Park here in Tulsa. It is a lot of garden shoehorned nicely into a relatively small space. It has also got lots of shadows.
(The couple on the left were courting the 21st century way: Texting!. Holding hands is so 20th century.)
The entrance is very inviting and shady. You can just barely see Carl way down at the end of the walk.
There are tables and chairs for relaxing.
And benches.
(Maybe here is where I tell you that the gardens are now closed until Mother’s Day. Sorry.)
And stone seating areas.
Lots of inviting seating to be had here among the shadows and sun.
Really looks like a great place to relax. Love that stone wall backdrop for the statue. Have a blessed week-end.
That is one of my favorite spots; beautiful and full of ideas for our own gardens.
Oh, my kind of place!! Beautiful! And what a wealth of shadows!! Fantastic! Hope your weekend is off to a great start!!
Beautiful place — closed for the winter huh? I didn’t know it was that cold where you were.
That looks a lovely place to visit and, personally, I think the 20th century of courting is so much more meaningful than today’s texting.
Love the statue of Carl – he looks as though he was/is dancing or he could be doing a courtly bow.
I’ve just noticed the book in his hand, quite why he’s standing that way I know not – I certainly don’t read my Kindle when adopting that position:-)
Tulsa needs to put you on the payroll. You sure do a great job promoting that pretty place.
(That photo doesn’t look a day over right now!)
You are such a shadowy tease.
these are some fine shadows
