Would love to see this huge botanical garden near Sochi.
Palms absolutely everywhere!

That would be so cool to see. I did finally found some robustas growing about, but few and far between. Many palms, more than I thought I would see. 8)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Aaron, I searched for robustas and couldn't find any.
But maybe we'll see more during the Olympics?

Fabulous opening ceremony!~ WOW.
Sochi did a fabulous job.

Was a little ticked off that my TV channel didn't do more than 10 seconds on the city...just a glimpse of the palm trees.
Idiot TV people! 😡 I want to see lots of pics of Sochi and their palms!!!!

And they're at +5C this morning.
While we're freezing our a** off.

All of it was incredibly well done.
Funny that one snowflake that "forgot" to turn into an Olympic ring.
Just like Vancouver's 2010 cauldron that forgot to do what it was supposed to do. 😆

And that ship...and the waves/ocean, man oh man, so very well done.
Wonderful how they were able to depict the diversity in that huge land mass.

Great music and costumes too. Loved that!
The fresh young faces of the excited athletes was so nice to see.

Funny is a fact that the Russian TV made this snowflake turning into a ring!!! That's why I didn't understand your remark.... Oh, well....

😯

Government can fix anything 😆 😆
Ours too. 😉

Good luck to all the athletes.
And that TV cameraman had better go photograph some palms or I'm gonna be mad as hell. 😉
