We found a night with a pleasant temperature and no rain to view the new Bruce Munro Light Display at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. We spent hours roaming through the forests, and looking at the lights sprinkled throughout the forests and inside the conservatory. The nature walk is a long, winding path through the trees where the lights are always changing colors and reminds me of fireflies. The reflections in the ponds of water throughout the gardens make a colorful, pleasing landscape. The night time sounds provided by the loud frogs, crickets and whatever makes noises at night, reminded me of my childhood when we played in the grass at night in our bare feet and sat on the ground looking up at the moon and stars.
It is such an extensive display, it is hard to do it justice in one or two pictures. We took many, many pictures, some of which I put together in a photo show.
Very pretty. We were at Longwood Gardens many years age. I remember the water fountain show.
ReplyDeleteodd to see the bird of paradise plant in penn. it's a tropical plant.
ReplyDeleteLongwood Gardens grows them indoors in the conservatory. They can grow almost anything there. We have been known to wade through snow to look at cacti or orchids inside. It is an amazing place with many courses taught in association with universities. Their displays are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to L. Gardens since I was a kid! thanks for the memories.

What an incredible garden! I loved your photo show. I'm so tempted to try making one now. Thanks for the motivation.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo show. You did an excellent job. I know it must have been so worth all the walking to see the wonders you got to see. I would so like to be there and see this in person, but your photos help fill my desire to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteA travelogue! Very nice-

Magical. Wow, what a beautiful display. I loved the bird of pardise - my favorite flower. I have a giant gigclee of an original I found in Hawaii on the dining room wall. I really liked how you did the slideshow to music.
