Linda Dayton and I took a short trip to the KWBG yesterday. The gardens were a WPA project and over the years, the gardens fell into neglect. A recent restoration project has begun and the gardens and walkways are becoming well groomed and inviting.
By drilling and cutting through solid coral, a fresh water pond is being built over a natural aquefor. I imagine this project will be finished within the next year.
It's a perfect place to bring a lunch and relax among the numerous rare palms, lignum vitae, cactus, and butterflies.
At the end of one of the trails, we saw a frenzied and determined male duck run into a pond and, I thought, attack another duck. The male duck held the female's head underwater. I thought he was going to kill her. It was, however, a mating ritual. Wild stuff.
