Longwood Gardens After Dark

 Chelsea and our friend Sarah thought they had a group headed to 

Longwood Gardens last evening to look at the new light feature.

However, when it came down to it the others decided not to go.

Chelsea called me and asked if Warren and I might be 

interested in going?

Well, we have wanted to get over and see the lights

but hadn't planned to go on this evening.

After a two sentence discussion we decided 

to go for it.

As we arrived we were excited to see light balls which we had

seen being set up in the daylight not so long ago.

What a difference the light and fiber make in the dark.

I snapped this to show you how very cute Chelsea's hair looks like this.

I think she looks like a dancer.

She, on the other hand is wondering why I am taking her 

photo in the ladies room.

Oh!  And isn't her sweater pretty?

I love it!

Maybe because it reminds me of Fall....

just around the corner.

We were not able to speak to Mom before we left but we decided to 

leave a message so that she would know to come if 

she got home and wanted to.

She did!

So, shortly after we arrived so did she and we 

headed off to see the 9:15pm Fountain Show.

Artistry with Lights and Water.

Warren was fascinated.

He always looks at those pumps when we are there

in daylight and wishes that he could poke around in there.

The mind of a man.

I don't understand.

But, I am sure it would make sense to many out there.

The Conservatory lighting was amazing.

Not so great for my little camera.

I guess it is time for me to learn about other settings.

So much fiber carrying light and color.

All over the gardens.

The water lilies were stunning!

Even though it was super humid and we were uncomfortable

it was still the best time we have had out in this 

particular garden.

It tends to cook you because of all of the cement and direct sunlight.

A very different experience.

In the treehouse.

I had to use the flash because nothing else would show up.

Georgia was off exploring somewhere....

but here are the rest of the gang.

Warren, Chelsea, Sarah and Mom (Grandma Ruth).

Thanks, Chels, for wanting your parents and grandmothers

to join you in the gardens.

Most of what we saw last evening is best seen in person.

I took photos but they really aren't anything to look at.

So.....I won't put you through it.

But, I have to say it is very much worth your while.

Gorgeous!!
