As part of Becky’s April Bright Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B, I’ve opened the archives to January 2020 to share our 19 day trip to USA. Join me on a pictorial travelogue of the best and brightest of our pre-pandemic adventures in California and Nevada! The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word bright. Look for #brightsquare.
Postcards from America
The Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park is the oldest wooden structure of its kind in the United States.
We wandered through all five galleries, each one displaying the flowering plants of a different ecosystem.
From the vegetation of Earth’s tropical regions to the world of aquatic and potted plants, the five rooms of the conservatory were aglow with dozens of vivid blooms in a kaleidoscope of colour.
Reading all your posts on San Francisco I realise we missed so much during our four days there quite a few years ago

It is cold with 30 mph winds today so this array of beauties is a real gift. 🙂

Those are gorgeous flowers. San Francisco really is an amazing place. Even without the conservatory, the weather is so perfect for flowers.

I can’t remember ever going to the conservatory, so I asked Vince if we’d been there. We have NEVER been to SF together. I didn’t realize that! I’ve been to meetings, and with two of my girlfriends. Mark and I went once because I remember going to the Maritime Museum, but that was over 26 years ago if we did.
