We heard on the news that The Eden Project was usually crowded, especially, in the morning so it would probably be best to go around 2:00PM.  Lenny and Christine figured that if everyone was being told the same thing, maybe it would be better if we went early.  Hmmmm . . . what to do?  That was the right decision and WE BEAT THE CROWD!!!  What a team!

 
 


These are the biggest damn lilly pads I've ever seen,
probably around 2 feet or more in diameter!

The Lost Gardens of Heligan



 

Christine told us about The Lost Gardens of Heligan.  She hadn't been there, so I'm thinking, "That's cool.  I like taking flower pictures, and the other places she's taken us were great."  Boy, what an understatement!  The Lost Gardens of Heligan was GREAT!  You can't imagine until you experience it like we did.  Next time you're in Cornwall, be sure to go there!

"-GIANT HEAD -

                      The Giant Head was created by Cornish artist Sue Hill along the
                      Woodland Walk in 1998. A little further down the walk you will
                          find the Mudmaid, another of her fantastic sculptures."
 
 
 
 


"- THE MUDMAID -
                    'Sleeping Beauty' was crafted by local artist Sue Hill in 1998
                      along the Woodland walk. She slumbers calmly in amongst the
                           trees and keeps a subtle eye on all who walk past."
 


 
 
 
 


Notice the plant hitching a ride on the tree?
I tried badly with that same kind of plant one time.
I KILLED it FAST!!!
