University of Oxford Botanic Garden

The weather in Oxford on Sunday of this past weekend couldn't have been much better, so Fi & I took advantage by strolling around town for a spell. Temps were mildly warm, the sun was out, & more people seemed to be about the city, enjoying the first hint of spring.


In Oxford, even the graveyards are beautiful.  The cherry trees are in bloom as well.


Our eventual destination was the Botanic Garden, which we'd heard was pretty nice.  Here's a batch of photos I took while inside:




The Botanic Gardens had a pretty wide variety of stuff, both in greenhouses and outdoors.




 There were plenty of flowers to try photographing up close.  I didn't take down any of their names.


Children of the Lone Star State will recognize this one, though:



All walks end up in the pub.  It's the rules.
