    I love Sunken Gardens. I went there a couple years ago with my family and got a lot of great pictures. The flamingos are a lot of fun to watch and are one of my favorite parts of the park also. Great video as always.

    This is now one of my most favorite videos you have done to date! I am actually shocked at how vastly different our two videos are!! I was hoping you were getting more wide shots of the garden because I ended up really focusing on the specific plants. There were actually several parts of this video I didn't even remember seeing because I was so focused on the plants haha! My favorite parts of the video was actually when you focused on the waterfalls and just let the camera run. Hearing the tranquil sounds of the water was really nice, especially after the busy day we just had!
    Yeah perhaps I am just biased because I love plants... but this was one of my most fav videos of yours and one of my most fav adventures we had together. So happy we could finally go to a botanical garden together, especially this one! And I'm really glad I could get you a shirt to remember the day by as well :) Great video Jay

    • @TampaJay
      @TampaJay  2 роки тому +3

      So happy this finally went down! It was a special time out there, enjoyed it so much. I love how we always catch different things always in the same place and moments! I love me some waterfalls and fountains. Lol Thanks for being my tour guide I learned so much on this visit with you. You have open my eyes to many new things. I’m so glad we had a beautiful day, the weather was perfect! I look forward to another botanical garden adventure with you sometime! This was a great first together!
      Thank you Cris my girl

    you can buy a season pass at Sunken Gardens and take up to 5 people in with you each visit, at least that's the way it was when I had the season pass, I would take friends with me and do photo shoots, these days I would also vlog it often if I still lived in the area, like you said it's iconic, I first went years ago with grandparents along with Cypress Gardens back in the day

    Nice video! I think I visited Sunken Gardens back in the late 70s or early 80s, but I don't really remember it. Every time we drive by I say I want to go and bring my DSLR to do a photo walk. Have you been to the Largo Botanical Gardens? That's a nice little garden too and they do light displays during Christmas.

    Nice video Jay! I remember your last sunken gardens video & this one was even better since you had the plant expert come with you. That's really cool about Joe & Marylin & some Yankees history too. From watching much of your videos it seems like the Tampa Bay area is so rich in history, one day I'd like to come down to check some things out.

    Have you ever heard the full length laugh or cry of the kookaburra bird? I heard one in Sydney Australia. I thought I was in the haunted forest in The Wizard of Oz ! You should Google the laugh, cry or shrill. Whatever is it called ! Bird 🐦 🦜 No peacocks huh. They are loud too.
    I know its all about the FLAMINGOS!

    Awesome-beautiful-historic places to visit!! You and Cris make a great team. This is great! Love your tour of the baseball complex and Sunken Gardens. Flamingos are always fun to check out. Urban legend: Babe Ruth claimed he was once chased by alligators at a baseball field at Huggins-Stengel Field. Of course, back then, the outfield edged close to the lake (no fence or barrier) and sunbathing alligators. I was in elementary school my first visit out to Sunken Gardens (several decades ago). Still love visiting the Gardens. Does anyone remember Sunken Gardens' wax museum?

  • @AllTheWorldIsSleeping
    @AllTheWorldIsSleeping 2 роки тому

    I use to be a Yankees fan up until around 2019 when I finally realized that sports were rigged along with the wolrd around you being scripted. You know someone has to think something is iffy to just stop watching sports even if your team is in 1st place and there's a player with a chance to beat Roger Maris's single season home run record beacause Baseball ratings are down just like they were around the time of McGwire, Sosa and Bonds. and you still don't care and have not watched a game all season because they are just trying to get Ratings back up and I don't think that is ever going to happen because a lot of people are waking up to these things.....Speaking of Marylin Monroe. The world is a stage and most people don't realize that they are in the show. More baseball terminology. "The Show" lol. They put it right in your face knowing that you're just going to write it off as satire.
    Such as my favorite one that the annoucers say " You couldn't have scripted it any better than this" Hahahaha! yeah, I know.
    Take a quote from the movie Gladiator “I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob, conjure magic for them and they will be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they’ll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate it’s the sand of the Colosseum. He will bring them death and they will love him for it.”
    People are too busy caring more about sports, entertainment, celebs then their freedoms. Nothing has changed, Look at all the Roman architecture that is around you. All the Eqyptian Oblisk that are just a giant Phallus. A Katy Perry music video and the likes of her are more Satanic than a Slayer video but no one cares. I guess because it's not obvious to the brainwashed masses.
    Crazy times we live in, the craziest show on Earth.
