Brookside Gardens

We are so blessed to live within walking distance of Brookside Gardens.  These gardens are part of Wheaton Regional Park which is a massive expanse of protected land in Silver Spring.  It is an amazing gift to have this land so near to DC.  Every time we walk through the park or the gardens we experience new wildlife.  We are always seeing deer, turtles, ducks, and geese, not to mention butterflies, bugs and birds of all kinds.  The spring is amazing over at Brookside- new flowers and new baby animals everywhere.  We love watching the geese nest and then returning a few weeks later to see the babies swimming along behind their parents.  These pictures are from a recent walk with our good friends the Healy’s.  (For some odd reason Brendan and their baby Anna are not in any pictures- sorry!)
