Absolutely stunning photos, @ssglanders! First Garden looks like a magical place where Greek and Roman mythology comes to life. The statues nestled amongst the greenery create such a unique and captivating atmosphere. I especially love the image with the detailed sculpture against the vibrant flowers – the contrast is just beautiful.

It sounds like you had a wonderful, albeit warm, Friday evening stroll. Your photos have definitely transported me, and I'm feeling inspired to explore gardens and parks in my own area. Thanks for sharing this slice of paradise and reminding us to take care of ourselves during this hot weather! What was your favorite statue or hidden gem you discovered in First Garden? I'm curious to hear more!
