To Tom above I would draw his attention to the sign saying “Please walk on the grass.” I have just returned from a three week trip to Australia, and I was impressed throughout by the Botanic Gardens. They are glorious places and if I lived there would become a Friend for sure. Above all they were well used by people. Great to see.
Of course one bird might look at another while a human is talking to them, and say, 'Millie, I don't think this human is playing with a full deck of cards.'
...how do you hug a tree without walking on the grass?
ReplyDeleteIn Australia you are totally allowed to walk on the grass, unlike in some European countries.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit David, the Botanic Gardens are fabulous - in Sydney and in Perth where I live :).
DeleteI'll be over soon to read about your trip.
I agree with and regularly do all of the above Sami 😉
ReplyDeleteThat's nice Grace, we should all relax a bit more and enjoy nature.
DeleteI love that sign! We could need it (in German) here, too!
ReplyDelete(Maybe you've been to our rather small Botanical Garden here).
Thanks Iris. Can't really remember the Botanic Gardens in Braunschweig, it's been too many years...

ReplyDeleteExactly William, lol.
DeleteLove that sign. You can walk on the grass and hug a tree. Cool.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
No problem with walking on the grass here.
DeleteI love that place already! The sign is truly the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by Sami. Trying to straighten out email comments with blogger, but loved your comment and glad to "see" you!
Thanks Jeanie, nice to have you back too.
DeleteWe are not in Paris now. We can walk on the grass.
ReplyDeleteQuite true Andrew, no problems walking on the grass in Australia. A friend was almost fined in Paris for walking on the grass, lol.
DeleteWhat a truly wonderful and welcoming sign this is :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately so often in the UK (and other countries) you see 'Keep off the Grass' signs.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan. I know a lot of European countries don't like people to trample their grass which is a pity.
DeleteEnjoy the grass!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat.
DeleteWhen in Portugal I see a lot of signs: do not walk on the grass. I have never seen such a sign here.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Catarina, in Portugal as in many other European countries you can't walk on the grass unfortunately...
DeleteNão é só em Portugal, Catarina.
ReplyDeleteEm Macau também.
É profundamente estúpido, não se pode qualificar de outra maneira.
Macau tambem, pensei que fossem mais progressivos. E tao bom andar na relva e poder fazer um picnic e relaxar.
DeleteObrigada Pedro.
Infelizmente em Portugal na maior parte dos jardins não se pode pisar a relva.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de boa semana.

O prazer dos livros
Uma pena, pois da grande prazer andar na relva.
DeleteBoa semana para si tambem Francisco.
Now that sign is different. Here you see signs that tell you to stay of the grass. I hope people enjoy their walk on the grass. :)
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do Bill - they picnic, they play sports, they take their dogs for a walk...
DeleteWhat a wonderful sign, Sami! Normally signs tell you not to walk on the grass!
ReplyDeleteI think most European countries don't like people on the grass which is silly, how will they enjoy the parks?
