Eureka Springs has it's cat; Three Creeks has it's dog.

Of course, there is more to Bok Tower Gardens than the tower. Upon the grounds are many acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, with numerous intertwining footpaths. A visitor could spend hours on the grounds and still not see the entire complex.

I've been to Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida, so many times I've lost count. It's a place of serene beauty where one can forget the troubles of the outside world. The words of John Burroughs, as expressed on this sign, mirror my thoughts exactly.
This is the tower, actually a 205-foot tall Singing Carillon tower. According to the official Bok Tower Gardens web site (see the links section), the tower was designed by Milton B. Medary and sculpted by Lee Lawrie. Of course, the tower would never have been built had it not been for Edward Bok, who, along with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. transformed a Florida hilltop into a place of magnificent beauty. Please visit the official Bok Tower Gardens web site to gain a greater appreciation of this wonderful place. Better yet, make sure to include Lake Wales in your itinerary next time you visit Florida.
Here, a fellow visitor is dwarfed by the massive tower.
A prominent feature of the tower is the sundial.
My final photo of the tower provides good indication of the incredible detail that went into the design.
Looking north up the beach.
A lifeguard station.
Water action had created a one to two foot high ridge.
This is the idea of a cottage on this part of the beach.
A Hobiecat.
I don't think this alligator is too menacing.
A nice beachfront hotel.

Looking south at dusk.
I'll close with a sunset.
Probably not the kind of animal life you were expecting. This is the park cat. 
Flowers.
Not sure what this one is.
Base of a Cypress tree.
Another orchid.

Tiger. 
This isn't a particularly good photo, and I'm not sure what kind of animal this is, but I think it's cool.
A couple of water fowl.
A mother and baby Orangutan.
An old man Chimpanzee, who looks like he means business.
Some Ring-Tailed Lemurs.
