On June 23 Betsy and I went to Nashville to celebrate our eleventh anniversary. The first place we visited was Centennial Park. When I met Betsy I was working a couple of blocks from the park and would walk there on my lunch hour (see the image above). When Betsy and I were dating, and even after we got married, we would often have lunch together in the park.

Our second date was on April 7, 2001, and we went Centennial Park. At that time the gardens were full of Spring blossoms. I took the picture above (it was the second picture I ever took of Betsy) amid the tulips.

There were no tulips this time, but lots of marigolds and other summer blossoms. I got this picture fairly near where the previous picture was taken.

Although it was very warm on June 23, the gardens were still beautiful. I will admit, though, that the more we walked, the more we tried to stay in the shade.

But we did stay out in the sun long enough for me to set up the tripod and get this picture of us on our special day.

With the heat that’s been everywhere this year, in the shade is the best place to be!

I know you and Betsy love gardens and make beautiful gardens, and this park is the beginning of it all. But i always associate both of you with waterfalls. I can’t imagine, visualize and relate with the 452 waterfalls until now, am so envious! haha

What sweet captures. I adore the one of you and Betsy. I loved walking through Centennial Park. I especially loved the Parthenon.
