Bear tree park

Ahhh, one of those places that you just can't do justice to in description, even with pictures.  Imagine Longwood Gardens on a smaller scale combined with the strangest zoo ever (for those of you not familiar with this plant wonderland - it's over 1000 acres of greenhouses, meadows and fields filled with beautifully landscaped and arranged flowers of all manner).  

We had a gorgeous day in the middle of the week, so the place was practically empty as we wondered around the wonderfully seussical trees, over hills and through greenhouses filled with petrified wood sculptures, bonsei trees, water lilies, cacti, orchids and countless other flowers.  

We saw baby deer, peacocks, chickens, parakeets, reindeer, and bears.  And when I say bears, plural, I mean LOTS of bears.
