Longwood Gardens

 I have so much to share...so many exciting, fun moments and trips to write about.

We've been so busy, I need more time at home to write about our adventures.

Monday, we went to Longwood Gardens and had an amazing time, I don't think it could have been better.

The weather was perfect, the spring booms were colorful and vibrant, the displays were spectacular.

The tulip flowers were whimsical, different shapes and sizes, some with "lacy" edges.

The hyacinth filled the air with a delicate perfume scent.

Here we are...still smiling at the end of the day.

We ate and we shopped, 

I love the gift shop here and we took way too many pictures.

I have a lot more photographs, I may or may not share them...sometimes it's just too much.

If you are ever in the area, visit, to enjoy this amazing place!

Wall Art

 I always enjoy seeing large murals on walls...

walls that would otherwise be faded, dingy and unattractive.

Murals are very popular on the buildings in Asbury Park & during a recent visit I noticed some new ones.

The first seven are in Asbury Park in New Jersey.

The approximate size of these murals is 30 feet by 30 feet.

To get an idea of the scale, look at the "bricks" in each mural.

This next mural I saw in Toms River, New Jersey.

I shared this mural from Asbury Park in a past post...

in doing this post about the new murals, I read up on this one.

This mural is made with a lot of recycled materials that were donated to its cause.

There was a family of fox that made their home under the boardwalk in Asbury Park,

and attracted many people from all over to see them!
