Longwood Gardens ~ Take Two!!

On February 20th we visited Longwood Gardens 
The weather was perfect,
although you can visit anytime as the conservatory is climate controlled.
This place is gorgeous, every season is different
and represented so beautifully. 
In my first entry, which can be viewed here,
I shared all the colorful blooms.
 
Today, you get to see the hubs and I,
 
 in all our favorite Longwood spots.

 The waterfall...

 A cute little bench in The Conservatory...

 The hubs hamming it up...

 copycat me!!

 The children's garden...
 
 with the child!!

 This is my favorite garden pathway...

 and the desert, cacti room...

The last shot before we headed out.
Those are yellow and white orchids on either side of us,
and gorgeous blue hydrangeas behind us.
 
And although I love winter, this trip did leave me longing for Spring!

I love the pictures of you and Chuck. You always look like you are having such fun. I would have spring fever really bad after visiting there. What a beautiful place to visit. Every section is so pretty. What a fun job.

Oh Debbie - that was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!
You have such a lovely sense of humour.
Including yourself and your dear hubs in each photo really completed each setting.
I was very taken with that window too in the childrens' garden :D)

Judy said...

What a profusion of blossoms!!! Makes me long for spring, although I was hearing birds while I was waiting for the bus this morning...
There is hope!

Ida said...

You both look marvelous and so happy. I think my favorite shot of you both was the one by the conservatory bench. Loved seeing all those gorgeous flowers. I remember the cacti area from my trip there so long ago.

LeAnn said...

You to are so photogenic. You both are so happy. You should frame one of these pictures; perhaps the last one. This place does cry out spring. I am certainly ready for that one. I like that you shared this awesome adventure.
Blessings and hugs!
