🥇 Furnas Azores - Thermal Baths by @leaky20
After driving to a cloud covered look out and not being able to see anything we decided to abandon the idea of hiking the mountains that day and to head over to the town of Furnas to enjoy its hot spring and botanical garden.

🥈 Botanical Garden ,,Alexandru Buia,, in Craiova, Romania by @triplug
Botanical gardens are still a place I like to go to because I know they are all wonderful, I have visited a few so far (if I remember I have a blog posted here from one of them) and I still have many more to visit because Romania has the perfect climate for these gardens especially from early spring until late fall.

🥉 Roadtrip Florida "Alligator Alley" Deu/Eng by @lxsxl
My first glance across the lake immediately caught my eye: the many fish swimming near the surface, repeatedly jumping out of the water, snatching flies. It's no wonder that, with such a plentiful supply of food, there were also many alligators here. They were lying on the opposite shore, some at the edge and some in the shallow water, lazily dozing. There were some quite large specimens, some 2-3 meters long, and I was glad to be standing on a dock. And suddenly, I saw one rising out of the water directly below me. Exciting, I tell you. Other animals like ravens, dragonflies, and herons also shared the pond with the alligators. A truly great first stop for wildlife observation.
