It’s not in my budget this decade

Out & About

The San Diego Botanic Garden often has garden art and sculptures on display, and for sale.

Inevitably I always have to pass them up because I just don’t have them in my budget for the year.

Maybe if I quit drinking margaritas for a few decades………..

Usually my garden art flies in for a meal and then flutters away:

  1. I have just the same problem when I visit Rosemoor!

  2. How much d’you reckon for Sleeping Woman? Maybe 2 to Tango is nearer my budget? No, I’d need a bigger garden. That just saved me a whole lot of money.

  3. If I had to give up margaritas, I wouldn’t want to live for decades.

  4. Even if it was in the budget, how could you ever decide which one to purchase? They are all wonderful. I agree with hillbillyzen13 on the margaritas.

  5. If it were within budget. I’d put Delicate Balance in my garden. It’s not, so for now, I’ll just enjoy the lovely photo.

  6. Love the bird feeder! I’d be happy with that in my garden :)

  7. Wow, I loved to make trip to the San Diego Botanic Garden thru Your photos.

  8. Love the artwork :) Really cool place to visit!

  9. At least you have pictures of them! I don’t have a yard, but a smaller piece or two would look lovely on my deck. :-)

  10. Great artwork – mere pocket change. LOL , I love the flame – now I just need a garden. ;)

  11. I’ll add this place to my growing list of places to check out :)

    • You should join the a couple of meetup groups — Pacific Photographic Society and San Diego Photography Collective — because we often get free admissions to these types of places. The San Diego Photography Collective is going to the Gardens on April 2 at 11:00 a.m. Also, be sure to check out the various places that offer free admission on the first Tuesday of the month. I think the Botanic Garden might be one of them.
