This is exactly why the World Lens is all about finding what's right in the world and highlighting it.
Today I stumbled across a little known event happening tomorrow. It is the 3rd Annual National Public Gardens Day. This day was organized by the American Public Gardens Association and Rain Bird to promote the importance of public gardens in the community. They would like to promote and educate the public on environmental stewardship, seasonal considerations, geographic considerations and, of course, plant and water conservation.
This year the NPGD has teamed up with Better Homes and Gardens who are offering a free admission coupon to a participating garden in your area. You can click the link above to download your coupon.
Any attempt to promote awareness and care of this beautiful planet is enthusiastically encouraged by me so no prizes for guessing where I'll be tomorrow morning with my camera......

Many of my photographs are taken in public gardens. I would be lost without them and so would my camera.
Thanks for posting this.
Lovely photo and post. I love to visit the gardens in my area.

You asked about the snapping turtle and its tail. Most of the turtles and even the tortoise have some kind of a tail that I am bringing to mind. And the snapper has some bumbs on it making it look like a dinosaur which is really is...Michelle
Beautiful shot and a very interesting post. I didn't know about National Public gardens Day.
