I had a chance to wander this morning.

Just off the north-eastern corner of Columbus's outer belt is a fantastic 121-acre park. Inniswood Metro Gardens.

I visited the Rose Garden this morning. It was bright, warm and hazy, the air was fragrant with the pleasant sides of the earthy and organic smells of plant life. Here are a few pictures.

I love Rose Gardens. We try to visit them everywhere. I especially like the one in Portland, Oregon. Lovely post.
Bill's Spirit Jul 18, 2006, 6:59pm EDT
Donna C. - Thanks. Glad you liked it. I'll have to look for that one if I ever get out there.
Laurie White Jul 18, 2006, 7:29pm EDT
Looks like the roses are in full bloom and they are beautiful! Were they are fragrant as they look?
Bill's Spirit Jul 18, 2006, 7:44pm EDT
Laurie - Some of them were fragrant, while others were not. The morning was damp and the air heavy and earthy. I had to get my snoot right into them to get a good deep whiff.
Cheryl C. Jul 18, 2006, 9:39pm EDT
I particularly like the arbor. Bet a lot of summer weddings are celebrated in that spot.
Aileen F. Jul 18, 2006, 10:33pm EDT
Wow, so pretty!
Bill's Spirit Jul 19, 2006, 7:47am EDT
Candida - Thank you for the invite. I will, and then I'll post it to the group. Thanks.

Cheryl C. - Yup, a lot of weddings are held there; spring, summer and fall.

George Corneliussen Jul 19, 2006, 1:28pm EDT
Bill,
Places like this are really neat. How about including a map with the article, or a link ?
Bill's Spirit Jul 19, 2006, 1:50pm EDT
Jessie - Nope, it wasn't. I was there pretty early in the morning and the heat had not come on strong yet.

George - Glad you liked it. And thanks for the ideas. They are both good and I will see what I can come up with.
Shaunee C. Jul 19, 2006, 2:12pm EDT

Candida - Ok, I'll see if I can manage that. Cross your fingers.

Shaunee - Thank you. It is a fantastic Garden space.
