| From the hotel dining room |
I was taking a picture of a destroyer leaving the harbor when we were at breakfast. |
| Tour group looked at a Bermuda cedar |
|  | The cedar is a wonderful rich looking wood that is endemic to Bermuda. That means it doesn't grow anywhere else. (It's also not really a cedar.) The first shipwrecked mariners used it to rebuild the Deliverance which took them on to Virginia. It is also extensively used for woodwork in places like St. Peters in St. George. |
| | Another picture of the cedar in the Botanical Garden. Additional pictures of Bermuda plants can be seen at the Botanical Garden pages at Botanical Guarden Tour |

| Plants at the Botanical Garden |
| | Section of rock garden with grasses and flowers |
| Chenille plant and Bird of Paradise (Botanic Gard) |
| | Many tropical and sub-tropical plants from all over the world can be grown successfully in Bermuda. The Bird of Paradise comes from Hawaii I think. |
| | Old trees have such interesting gnarled limbs. |
| Stables on the grounds Botanic Garden |
| | Century plants and palms in the stable area. |
