There are a lot of things I enjoy doing, so it was difficult to pick just one picture. Ever since our trip to New Zealand, J and I discovered that we love visiting gardens. By far our favorite thus far was the Hamilton Gardens on the north island. They were very expansive and included an amazing rose garden (I love hybrid tea roses). The most impressive parts of this garden though were the international mini gardens. The one pictured above was an Indian garden, but they also had Italian Renaissance, traditional English, contemporary American, Japanese, and Chinese gardens. Beautiful!

haha-Patrick and I like going to gardens, too. Each place we lived we'd always go find the nearest botanical garden. I have to say, I didn't love the one in AZ...I can only look at so many cacti...
That's so beautiful! And rose gardens are just the loveliest places to be. Before my agoraphobia kicked in we used to go to stately homes quite often, especially on holiday, and my favourite parts were always the library and the rose garden... Happy memories!
Ashley, if you guys come here to Denver we can go to the Denver Botanic Gardens!
bookishbarney--I bet the rose gardens (or any gardens for that matter) in the UK are fantastic! I've been there only once on holiday, but it was early May, so a little too early to see much of anything in full bloom. I love an English garden...
