There are lots of things to do and see at Virginia Lake. We usually visit the lake and feed

 the ducks, swans, coots and geese. And we visit the Winter Garden which is an art deco

 building literally filled with flowers. (Here's a link to a previous post.)

But with construction to the garden, we were re-routed to enter through the sculpture 

garden, which we had never seen before, for some reason.

Virginia Lake is 'the perfect' spot for a walk or picnic or just to stretch your legs. It has a walk-through bird enclosure, botanical garden building that changes with the seasons, a cafe and lots of grass.

Of course, there are also lots of ducks. They know you have food. The want some. They are not shy about it.

We harassed the ducks by feeding the birds on the hood bonnet of the car. The birds are not shy, either, but they don't attack you en masse.
