A path in the Fitzalan Gardens

Cairns Botanic Gardens, FNQ

We discovered across the road from the main gardens there were some lovely pathways
through some very exotic plantings, and we had them almost to ourselves on the
last day of our holidays in Cairns for 2016.

We have had an unpleasant week, firstly me being very off colour, then our little dog
Flossie suddenly got very sick last night and we were very worried she could have
had a bite from a snake - but she is still with us and I think I've worked out
the cause - a bite from a jumping ant. I am very allergic to these and I think
an ant has bitten her several times, she went into an anaphylactic shock - causing
an emergency visit to an after hours vet. Sorry that I haven't kept up with comments
but I'll do my best asap.

There are snakes even in Paradise ... geez, 'Stralia is such an amazingly beautiful country and yet, everything seems to wanna kill you there! I'd be living in a penthouse on the 50th floor there, and even then, I'd be worried about some bug somewhere! I'm so glad Flossie is feeling better

Now, that's a garden!!! So beautiful, Yvonne - hope you and Flossy will get well soon.
Keep my fingers crossed....

This looks like a walk in Paradise. Beautiful shot. Also hope that you feel better and that Flossy is recovering well.

This looks so beautiful, but also is dangerous according to your story. I´m so glad that you and the dog are OK. V.

Lovely Lush greens, I really miss the lushness. I love how you have captured the layers of light on the foliage. Wonderful
