last Sunday, i spent a wonderful (and a bit windy) day taking pictures at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens....here in Nashville.enjoy....... 
on Monday, we experienced straight line winds and small tornadoes (yes, there is such a thing)...i felt the pressure change in the house, the windows started to whistle and pop, the electricity and cell phones cut off, the sky was dark, branches started to hit my house and my inner voice said grab the cats and head to our safe place........

shortly after..it was calm..luckily we suffered no damage, just limbs and debris and dirt everywhere.....some of my neighbors lost very large trees.
even Cheekwood closed for a couple of days to clean up.

The girl in the purple dress looks like she was placed there to complement the hyacinths!
What a fabulous garden Erin.
What amazing park and all that blooming. I almost "died" for happiness just watching the pictures it is so beautiful.
Beautiful gardens and flowers! We are going to Callaway Gardens in Georgia this weekend too see everything in bloom.
We had the same storms pass through here Monday ... thought the roof was coming off the house!
I would love to be there. It's not far from Knoxville. But unfortunately I have surgery coming up and can't make it. So I very much appreciate your pics.
What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing! The weather...how scary! Glad you are safe with your kitties! :-)
You did a wonderful job of photographing the gardens. Cheekwood is a beautiful place.
I grab a pillow to put over my head, took cover, and prayed when the storms came thru here. I thought for sure I was going to lose a window or worse.
Enjoy your day.
Thank you-SO MUCH-for sharing your beautiful garden experience!It is so lovely!
oh!!! good you took these beautiful images after having a tornado!! how thrilling.... I was in a tornado once in Michigan and it was pretty scaring. We are stil recovering from earthquake and tsunami last year... wow, everywhere in the world something is happening...
hugs and take care
Dear Erin
What can give you more pleasure in life than the beauty of nature.. I can almost smell the sweet scent of the flowers.. Thank you so much for sharing this.. A beautiful way to start the day.....and the music is heavenly.

Always such beautiful pictures, Erin. Thanks for sharing them with us. I bet a lot of those beautiful blossoms dusted the ground after that wind. Aw Spring, furiously beautiful. Have an awesome day!

Beautiful !!! ....have a nice day darling....love love Ria....xxx...
I'm heading out there Monday for a picnic. Your shots have made me even more anxious.
A wonderful place...but simply stunning pics...brilliant.
You even have an artful eye when taking photos of passers by. The glimps of that child in her purple dress......like she was there at the perfect time.
Nature can be so beautiful yet so destructive. Glad you were ok!
