Welcome To The Wednesday View

Hi folks! For today's photo I would like to share another view of our front garden. Or at least a small part of it. 

About six weeks or so ago Kim and I purchased a Day Lily from of all places a local yard sale. But time got away from us as it sometimes will and it didn't get planted for about two weeks. We weren't even sure if it would make it. But with the warm temperatures and all of the rain we have been getting it seems to have thrived. And though it's just a bit rough around the edges it has bloomed.

Welcome To The Daily View

Today I am almost wrapping up a weeks worth of flowers shot at Longwood. I say almost because I may have one or two more. It really was a good day. So please enjoy these lilies. Another one of my favorites. In fact I hope to have some of my own this Spring. Stay tuned.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday I shared a photo of the Pierce DuPont House from our New Year Day visit to Longwood Gardens. I was amazed that I was able to grab a shot of it with no people in the frame. And like I said I have many more images that I would not be able to capture on a normal busy day. For today's photo however I would like to share this lily with you.

After all what would a trip to Longwood be like if we didn't stop to smell the flowers?

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

For most of the week I have been sharing photos from Longwood Garden's Christmas exhibit and that is the theme I have been sticking to (mostly). But any trip to Longwood also has another theme. Flowers!

It is blatantly obvious that Kim and I have a  particular fondness for Longwood. I mean come on the place is just incredible. In a world of "progress" and overcrowding places like Longwood and my other favorite place Valley Forge offer openness and a place to breathe and feel a little freer. But to me what Longwood has to offer above all else is my ability to enjoy fresh flowers and blooms all year round. I can go there in February in the coldest of temperatures and see roses and lilies and the such. It's like an escape of sorts.

So today I would like to share this lily with you.

Let it serve as a reminder that Spring isn't as far away as it may seem.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...
