Longwood Gardens

 

Every year we seek colorful light displays, unique venues, and seasonal delights.  And since we continue to live in numerous places, there are special locations which are a favorite for residents as well as numerous travelers.






Dramatic entrance to a huge atrium
with multiple rooms and sectioned off areas
.




Somewhat unexpected,
until you see the entire setting from a distance.



Here's the large atrium all decked out!







And now, taking you on a small tour . . .

    Here are a few unusual finds!






















Even though it was a very chilly, windy evening,
bright lights kept us moving through acres of lovely sights.
















Merrrrry   Christmas!

A Blessed Christmas with a bit of the white stuff, too!

Displaying the softness of our first real snowfall
along with the magic of Christmas Eve ...




Early Evening



Love the Colorful Berries





Milder temps brought a very wet snow,
probably 2-3 inches.

Very gentle ...     So beautiful ...

Our Car's White Blanket



We're staying put this week.  Both of us are working
fairly regular hours w/ Hubby having two 4-day weekends off.
Makes for a really nice break in the midst of college bowl games,
several outings to see Christmas lights, and a few other local places.
Having a bit of snow sure provides a welcome addition.









Prayers for You in the Coming New Year,
Dear Family & Friends.

May the Lord be ever near to bring His wisdom,
comfort, peace, and unspeakable JOY each day!
