The flowers are spectacular this time of year. However, every spring/summer, the Huntsville Botanical Garden features a extra "theme" for its visitors. This year, the Garden has exploded with David Rogers' magnificent sculptures of "Big Bugs." Huntsville schoolchildren joined in the fun by adding their own creations of big bugs which can be seen throughout the Garden. So, grab a can of bug spray and head to the Garden soon to see the invasion of "Big Bugs" in one Huntsville's most popular tourist spots.

Here's some things I learned in Huntsville this week:

• We've got our own local ghost walk led by Jacque Reeves, but according to USA Today, the Southwest Alabama Regional Tourism and Film Office is working to establish a ghost trail stretching through the 18 counties that make a swath through the middle of the state starting this summer.
• Note: Due to the Downtown Summerfest 2009, the Huntsville Ghost Walk has been canceled for Saturday, July 11, 2009. There will be a walk on Saturday, July 18, and every Saturday through the month of October.
• Free Mocha at McDonald's every Monday for the next month. Read more...
