Meeting friends in Botanical garden...

We went to Buffalo, NY again...
This time to meet our dearest friend, Amie, her husband and her two energetic sons, Gio and Breetzy.

I knew Amie for very long. We first met in Rochester, NY and from then on, we continue our friendship. Unfortunately, we live in different cities now and it is hard to meet. So we try to meet somewhere in the middle between my city and her city and we picked Botanical garden in Buffalo, NY. This was my second time visiting the botanical garden. Here is the story of my first visit, Trip I - Buffalo, NY

Buffalo Botanical Garden is a perfect place to meet especially for the children. That week the garden exhibited trains.

There were many things to see in the garden. We encountered one unique plant, the sensitive plant,

mimosa


In Indonesia, we called this plant, the shy princess. I remembered touching the leaves of this plant every time I saw this plant.

We also enjoyed other beautiful plants,

The Botanical garden was so empty that I could easily took this picture,

After we finished exploring the garden, we decided to take a walk along a lake and guess what we saw,
