The two RV Gypsies
at Sarah P. Duke Gardens 420 Anderson Street Durham, North Carolina July 22, 2021 |
NOTE: There are a lot of pictures on this page, and even though they have been preloaded, it may take a moment for some of them to show up. It is worth the wait, because Duke Gardens has a lot more in it besides flowers. |

Below: When Karen Duquette saw a butterfly on a flower, of course she took a photo. Then the butterfly left the flower, lightly brushed Karen's shoulder and then flew back to the flowers. Guess the butterfly really wanted Karen to take lots of pictures of it. |
