Bears & Butterflies

We spent a gorgeous afternoon in Maymont park, a hundred-acres in downtown Richmond that contains a nature center, children's animal farm, wildlife exhibit and several gardens. As expected, there are bears in the Hundred Acre Woods - though these weren't as cute as Pooh Bear. Two black bears who are part of the wildlife exhibit decided to have a romp in the park, wrestling for several minutes with one another. Reminded me of good ol' sibling rivalry:) Later, we walked through a beautiful Japanese garden and an Italian garden full of butterflies. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and phenomenal August afternoon. We love seeing God's glory in the great outdoors!

These flowers were as big as dinner plates!
