Today is national chocolate covered anything day. How about a dessert made with real gold...

casey - I would love to do a walk like that. This inspires me to suggest this to our local arboretum/gardens. What a lot of work though. They may suggest right back that I volunteer to help. lol

Edited to add that I just heard back from a friend who works at the arboretum. I sent the photo in your post casey and she says she will mention it to staff!

The gardens have been transformed into a winter wonderland - beautiful!

Annie, the only thing better than chocolate would be gold covered chocolate - almost too pretty to eat!

Igmd, I love how the birds tails can be seen poking out from under the snow covered shelter of the feeders. I'm sure the birds appreciate it!

Looks inviting, Jim. Street food is the best and I think one of the best ways to experience local food as well. It hasn't been all prettied up for the tourists and is the real deal.

Ooooooo, Nicole - that is incredible!

Lupini Park gardens in Bangkok, Thailand:

The park has it's own greenhouses. The public is not allowed in here and that guy glaring at the camera had just finished yelling at me in Thai because I had stopped at the gate. I guess he thought I was going to come in.

There are places to sit and relax all over the park:

During today's "Moni tour"... LOL, showed a Japanese guest some of OKC.
