Garden
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ In a city that is rapidly expanding and being planted with the same trees and shrubs, it is refreshing to go to this space which is an oasis of color and joy. I love taking my grandchildren to this garden to see all the different flowers and the birds, butterflies and insects.

Wake Forest Greenway - Sanford Creek
Nature preserve
๐Ÿ‘ Very pretty trail, one bit of it has these fun painted sewage(?) silos of sorts, one of which I included a picture of. It's nicely tucked away from the hubbub of city life for the most part, and borders on the nearby elementary school so it's quite peaceful. There's also a large field available for...

Lake
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Lovely place and very close to town. Today we saw an albino duck, and a sugar maple tree with leaves turned brown for winter.

Wake Forest Art & Frame Gallery
Picture frame shop
๐Ÿ˜ While the store is beautiful and the sales people helpful, this place is very expensive. I left a 7x7 inch embroidery piece to be framed. I thought the young lady said it would be $169.00 for the framing, which I had expected. I had picked out a beautiful mat and a very pretty frame and felt it was...
