Resting at the cafe in the Botanical Gardens

The Melbourne Botanical Gardens are lovely at this time of the year. In the morning there is a faint mystical mist hanging over the low lying lake. The camellias are coming out. Although if you are a real fan you may want to wait a couple more weeks when there will be more of them.

The café was bathed in sun and it was a resting place for people and dogs.

Rescue dog Cody (CLICK HERE FOR HIS STORY) was eager for his snack

and then he let himself be bathed in the winter sun.

Red is the ‘in’ colour for jackets this year. Red was the predominant colour on the RSPCA’s Millions Paws Walk. Nugget, the Minature Maltese, we met there was wearing a red jacket with a hood but he preferred to wear it down.

These two spaniels were very patient and they were happy to share their water.

If you do decide to walk in the Bot Gardens and finish with a rest at the cafe - check the prices before you order. A coffee and the average sized muffin sets you back $8.00.
