Fall in Johannesburg

The other Sunday after church we went on a little outing with our firends, the Wrights, to the Botanical Gardens. I was excited to see the changing leaves which helped me believe that it is really autumn here.

The reason we are confused is that trees and flowers are still blooming and the weather is so pleasant.
The Johannesburg Botanical Garden is a wonderful place with acres of grass, a lake, and a rose garden with beautiful water features. Elder Wells did a great imitation of the open mouthed spout here.

While we were strolling along these lovely ladies came up to sell their wares. we told them we could not buy on Sunday but they allowed us to take their pictures.
This fountain at the entrance of the rose garden is very beautiful.
Just thought I'd let you see some of the nice things about Johannesburg on a Sunday afternoon.
