It's a GIANT statue. When we were taking this picture we overheard one girl saying, "I don't know, maybe he WAS that tall."
The Admiral Nimitz Museum was originally the Nimitz Hotel, builty by Nimitz's Grandfather, Charles Henry Nimitz, Sr.
The Nimitz family is from Fredericksburg. The Admiral Nimitz Museum and Pacific War Museum is on Main St.
A very pretty bird! He was in one of the shade gardens.
We walked a little farther back and they had beds all ready for planting.
These flowers were packed with butterflies!
A good one with the butterfly and the tiny flowers in focus.
As soon as we started to take pictures they ran off in a hurry!
These cool lizards were everywhere in the gardens.
A pretty purple flower planted along side the pond.
Wildseed Farms had a few gardens set up behind their store. This is the water garden. a HUGE pond with lily pads, goldfish and eve…
Pretty tree! And the only shade around in their retail area!
It's too bad it's so toxic. It's a very pretty bush!
It's really pretty but I read that just about every part of it is toxic, of course.
I think these are Monarch butterflies.
We got good practice taking butterfly pics.
We took a lot of butterfly pictures.
On Saturday we went back to Wildseed Farms to check out the gardens.
Great shot of the hotel!
