Hiking Big Bone Gardens
Jeanne and I hiked at beautiful Big Bone Gardens in northern Kentucky in late June.
He we are standing by a small, ornamental lily pond.
Our nephew Timm joins the photo, along with his dog Shadow. Timm and his wife Theresa manage the Little Wolf Nature Preserve in southern Kentucky.
This is the larger lily pond. It was blooming when we visited. Quite a sight!
The pond lily flowers are pretty and immense. Many of the flowers are as big as a basketball.
The tall exotic grasses nearly swallow us alive.
The cabin at Big Bone Gardens was originally built in the 1840s and reconstructed here.
We take a break at Mark’s cabin in Big Bone Gardens.

Wow, I had no idea you hiked in such a beautiful place. If I had a relative that ran such a place, I’d be there often! Photos of you both are great and the photos of the flowers look professional! Love the idea that you have a blog – I’m impressed!!
