Welcome to the Children's Fantasy Garden, a slightly creepy but magical section of the vast, wonderful Albuquerque Botanical Garden.
Visitors explore a giant vegetable patch from the vantage point of the three-foot-tall ants that inhabit the landscape:
All your picnic are belong to us.
Honey, I ate the kids.
Inside the Great Pumpkin. I loved this thing. The floor was even spongy.
Home sweet ant nest. We found lots of cool, shady tunnels to explore and one little hobbit taking a rest:

Were those olives? Wow, we don't think of the enormity of nature, most vegetables (and ants) seeming to small and far away that they are almost abstract. Until now! A squishy pumpkin floor reminds us of the work to remove the seeds before we carve that jack-o-lantern in October. The massive size of the attractions, like those carrots, make us pay attention. Mom always told us to eat our vegetables...
Those "olives" were ant eggs, with holes where the ants have hatched out. ;-)
You were here???? You should've told me! I would've met up with you! OK-I guess it's time to go back to the Botanical Garden as I don't remember those GIANT vegetables being there!
What an awesome place. :)
Nice shadow shots!
