Visiting Brisbane Botanics

geodesic dome mt cootha

The other week I took you through a virtual journey of the Noosa Botanic Gardens today it's back revisiting an old favourite, the beautiful, botanical gardens at Mt Cootha in Brisbane.  On this visit, I was mesmerised by their bonsai walkthrough and delighted to have a moment of calmness in the Japanese gardens whilst the tropical geodesic dome and stunning cactus section stole my heart! My heart has also been consumed with the highlighted racial injustice towards black people that I unfortunately have been quite sheletered from. I want to be better myself, better at stepping in when I see racism, better at trying to understand different perspectives and struggles.  Nature has been the best spot for me this week.  Long and frequent walks to just be still and reflect for a while.  I hope these photos give you the same feeling :)
