Reiman Gardens is one of the largest public gardens in Iowa and is also home to a butterfly house.
Butterflies can be hard to photograph! :-)
There were also a couple very big and beautiful blue butterflies that I was trying to capture, but they would just NOT land! Oh well...
After the butterfly, it was out to the trails through the gardens with a surprise around every corner. This was a troll house...
...but Kaitlin didn't find any trolls.
While I believe these displays change, the Reiman Gardens had a special display of gnomes throughout the gardens.
...more gnomes...
It was VERY hot that afternoon, so this shady spot was a lovely place to take a rest.
I don't know that playing in the fountain was technically allowed, but isn't it cute!?
READER RESPONSE:
Have you been to the Reiman Gardens (or another comparable place) before? Did you enjoy it? What was your favorite part?
