This park is several tram stops from the apartment. In addition to an extensive iris garden, ornate flower patterns, and koi-filled lake with fountain, there is a "spreading chestnut tree." This is Irisgarten Belvoirpark where our visit -- from a gardener's point of view -- was perfectly timed.
















To avoid the misunderstanding that there are no problems in Switzerland, here is a kite-eating tree.

You keep going to all these different locations, pace yourself - your plan was to be over there for a year remember? Have you seen your grand child? Has he gotten over his 'foot & mouth'?? Don't get lost in the mountains. miss U - Denny

Thanks for sharing the great pictures, what an exciting adventure. I'm in Tucson now, left Portland on June 2nd and arrived here on the 4th. It still hasn't really hit that I've moved to Tucson. Serious house shopping in the works, will keep you posted on your new winter retreat! (2010) Best wishes to rest of the family and an early happy b-day wish to Roger! Debbie

Becky - Marie Curie's lab! Wowzy wow Kiddo. I bet you were gobb-smacked! Radio-active journals? What radio chanel did she listen to? Could it have been Channel No.2?
So glad to see you in a pic. Did you get your hair cut? Looks fab.
Keep the journals and pic's coming.
Makes me feel your are not so far away. Hugs and Blessings--Sue
