Stopping by Norfolk Botanical Gardens to see what's in bloom is the perfect way to spend a warm spring day.  I took my new Lensbaby Velvet 56 and set out for a walk around the gardens in search of beauty.  I didn't have to look far because there was a lot in bloom!  The bees were buzzing around the fragrant lilacs and the cherry blossoms were holding on strong against the wind.  The magnolia blossoms were starting to brown but a few perfect flowers could still be found.
