A Tulip Festival - for SkyWatch Friday!

Every Mother's Day weekend Albany, NY's Washington Park 

hosts an amazing tulip festival.  There are thousands of tulips everywhere.

The gardens are extensive... and we are always surprised 

as to how many varieties there are!

Moses will welcome you as you tour the gardens.

Happy weekend everyone!

Please turn up your volume and enjoy a little birdie serenade 💛 
This gold finch is singing a sweet springtime song. The sky was so blue today it hardly looks real! 
My father was convinced that gold finches were pets that escaped. 💛 love and miss him!

Skywatch Friday: A Springtime Anniversary Walk at UAlbany

A Springtime Anniversary Walk

in the University at Albany magnolia gardens

in the science wing of the campus. 

We've taken this walk almost every spring since we started dating back in 1975. 

It's a stunningly beautiful garden that shouldn't be missed at the end of April, early May.

It was a beautiful, sunny day so it was a perfect time to go!

I hope you can see it someday!
