Meijer Gardens statuary and exterior.

Once outside the giant appropriately-named hothouse one can amble the many paths to different zones of the outdoor garden.

The horse statue is maybe the most notable one because of it's scale.....

Ain't that a kick in the head?

Carol falls foul of the violent beast.

This of course reminded us that an afternoon nap is one of life's greatest pleasures.

Kids will have fun in this very pleasant and educational environment.

The trowel is maybe 20 feet tall

For the last and my favorite sculpture we move back inside for the Meerkats....

As we were winding up our brief tour of the gardens we stopped by the waterfall to listen to it's soothing sound.

We were by now 4 hours into our Canada trip and lunch would have been nice. We had a lunch spot in mind but it was another 100 miles or so away. We stopped at the Meijer cafe for an espresso jolt to help me on the drive on this sunny May day.

Next up....Bavarian Lunch in Michigan.
