I don’t claim to be a superb photographer, but these are a few shots I’m proud off.  Taken either at Longwood Gardens, PA or in Colorado.

The Broad Crown of the forest giant stretched into the sky,

Mingling with Sunlight, Cerulean and diffuse Emerald shadow,

Inviting, Enchanting, Calling….

The tower stood guard,

watching,

waiting,

seeking the face of enemy and friend alike,

the first line of defense and the final battleground,

but the ancient stones had also seen secret loves shared,

heard the echoes of children’s laughter,

and tolled the hours of the day for centuries.

Secret now,

sinking behind the growth of bordering wood,

the tower reminisced and was silent.

Silver and bronze,
United in a quiet cote,
Listen in breathless silence
To lyrical birdsong,
Cicadal droning,
And the whispers of travelers
Stooping in its luminous shade.

Just a few of the amazing vista’s we enjoyed on the cog-train ride up to the summit of Pikes Peak.  This last picture is of two yellow-bellied-whistling marmots we saw.  So cute!

Yes, we were blessed to see these mountain goats up close and personal.  The fact that this Mother and Baby were within 20 feet of us shows how used they are to people, but it was wonderful nonetheless.  Little Baby actually walked across a nearly vertical rock face while descending from the summit to nibble on the sparse vegetation below.  The pics are a little blurry simply because I was FREEZING…it was 42F and windy!

Some of the native flora on the summit of Mt Evans.  It amazes me that these hardy plants can survive the extremes 14000 feet up!  OH and yes, thats me, all bundled up in three thick layers trying to stay warm!  🙂

The vistas from Mt Evans were spectacular and these are just a few.  We climbed to the summit to watch the Eclipse …and had a spectacular view!

I spent this past Saturday wandering amid the flora and fauna of the ever beautiful Longwood Gardens, located in South Central Pennsylvania.  Even though it was a drizzly and chilly day, it was still exceptionally delightful and I simply had to share some of the sights I/we found there.  I wish I could share the scents as well, but alas, SmellOBlog has not been approved for public use just yet. I hope you will enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed discovering them.

This fifth collection is some of the magnificent trees stretching their arms to the sky among the gardens, as well as one of the tree houses (yes thats a Tree House) Mr DuPont built for his grandchildren.

This fourth collection is the Italian Water Garden, one of my favourite exhibits in Longwood.  I especially love the waterfall stairs!
