Thursday in Various Gardens

These tree is growing in Old Town. Mommy really liked it but she has no clue what it is. Thanks to Fozziemum, we now know it is a Jacaranda. The Mom so wants one.



The flowers were an incredible purple color.


Mommy thought the yard art is this yard was cute.


And this interesting plant was outside a store in Old Town.

This is the hotel (Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel Old Town) Mommy and Daddy stayed at. They have lots of well tended flowers there.

Mommy really like this one but she doesn't know it's name.

Mommy and Daddy went to Temecula Valley Wine Country and visited the vineyards. Their favorite was Cougar Vineyard & Winery.







Mommy said she had lots of fun and that she liked all the different wines they tried especially the Port with Chocolate Truffles. ~ATCAD

Great pictures and beautiful flowers. The top one reminds us of the Lilac bush that we have around here. Such pretty purple flowers.
