Adventure: Botanic Gardens Sydney - 21/11/2020
A plan to go to the Botanic Gardens and use a voucher at the nursery turned into an adventure! Not only driving there (because of train trackwork), but also finding a field of flowers at the garden for springtime.
So many butterflies and other little critters to observe. Particularly fussy about it's choice of flowers, I did eventually manage to snap a couple of photos of the Monarch Butterfly. :)
Remembered my camera, hat and lunch, but forgot sunscreen. oops...
