A beautiful day at Earth Works

Earth Works on Beach Blvd. certainly lived up to its reputation as a cool place to have a plein air day.

In addition to all their plants they certainly had lots of fountains and ponds and gardens.

Good to have hats though as the sun did move around and took some of the shade away!
