Botanical Garden, South Africa - Part 1

The Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden has a wide variety of semi-desert plants, including succulents. Recently, larger-than-life insect sculptures were added to the garden. They make the visit so much more fun, because you might stumble upon one when you least expect it. Some can even be found hiding in the trees. I took Amanda and my camera to go see them just before the sun set. The sculptures were certainly impressive. The one that looks too real for my comfort is the huge mosquito.
