Longwood Gardens ....let's take another walk ..

... through the du Pont Estate, just outside of Philadelphia, PA.  The beautifully elegant hanging flowers welcome you to the estate. Draped across a tall wooden structure, they just promise ... more to come.








Fountains are filled with dancing waters.  Check out their "shoes" ... 

I am always drawn to stone work; maybe because I can't understand it's creation. How do you envision what a block of stone is to become?  Then,how do you repeat it? Gifted visionaries. 


The children's garden is filled with surprises.                        

                                                               More words ... I think not!




Then there is simplicity ....
... and great detail. Breathtaking!
