Wildlife Snapshots Goes USA: Bok Tower Gardens

Every so often as I blunder through life I come across somewhere that will live on in the memory. Often going back isn't the best thing to do as few places can live up to the selective memory that develops over time.
However I hope I do go back to Bok Tower Gardens one day, to enjoy the peace, the gardens, the sculptures, the restaurant (mmmm! ),the dream come live, the birds (definitely the birds) .... and I must time it again to ensure the experience is underpinned by the glorious scent of the orange blossom. Normally you expect the light, the sun on your back, but add in that fragrance ........
After a bit of a drive, and a few wrong turns - why is it signposts in the US so often just disappear half way along a route? - we drove into the estate through the orange groves. I can still almost taste it.
Anyway this is Bok Tower Gardens, built by a man with a vision - Edward Bok - one of the few places we found (outside state parks) where the natural world is held in high esteem. There is a viewing hide, where an ill-timed look at a chart about the local wildlife meant we missed the osprey dive into the lake, and some feeding stations where I found the most ridiculously plumaged little bird. Called the painted bunting it's a great description. Give a child a drawn outline of a passerine and a kit of dayglo paints and tell it to paint the brightest bird ever! Just a shame that (a) the light was so low at that spot and (b) I only caught it on the feeder.
I'll leave the rest to the pictures.
