During this National Photo Month, my own landscape has taken front and center on several occasions. Today, I'm featuring some of the natural beauty that can be found at
Lauritzen Gardens, our local botanical garden.
My work team recently spent a day at the gardens with a business meeting in the morning and a fun photography activity in the afternoon. These are some of the photos I took on that gorgeous day.
In the Model Railroad Garden, electric trains snake through the natural setting and run amongst buildings and other structures that are constructed of all-natural materials. The structures all represent landmarks around our community. Trains have a rich history here, as Omaha was the starting point of the first transcontinental railroad, the Union Pacific Railroad.
If you're ever visiting Omaha, or even just passing through, a visit to Lauritzen Gardens would be time well spent.
Make it a great day!
