Arboretum Wildlife

As I always find wherever I go down here, Texas has some wildlife that I have never seen before (of both the plant AND animal varieties)!

Cindy was grossed out by this pumpkin/gourd thing. We decided that it was the 'elephant man' pumpkin!

I just LOVED LOVED LOVED these tiny pepper things! They were so little, cute and bright! I want to plant some in my shrubs!

This gourd thingy was odd because it was exactly in the shape of an apple, but super oversized. It was about the size of a bowling ball, maybe a little smaller. So cute!

The arboretum is just SO well maintained - gorgeous photo ops EVERYWHERE you turn!

I'm not sure if this next one is a berry or a flower??? They were gorgeous and I wanted to pick some and take them home. They are like big raspberries or something....but I think they are a flower. Very weird, but so pretty.

And of course, the lily pads were so cool! This was the most perfect water lily hanging out all by itself!

I am obsessed with moving water, waterfalls, fountains, etc. It's just mesmerizing.......

A vibrant purple water lily!

And when I saw these two, I just thought they looked like a couple hanging out together.
