Winter Wonderland


We didn't get as much of the white stuff 
as they had forecasted 
but it was enough  for me
I was getting stir crazy
so my hsb told me to grab my camera




















I think he thought I was nuts
who goes out in 20 degrees
stands in the middle of a farm road
 and takes photos of steers






I was surprised to see ducks floating along



This is an old mill 
that has been converted into a bed and breakfast












The Bird's 
came to mind






The sunset was gorgeous

















It was such a pretty day out there

Outdoors at the Conservatory

Even though the grounds are typically brown and ugly
you can see the potential
I can't wait to visit
 this Spring and Summer
This area is used for weddings 


The plaza in front of the Palm House


The Zen Garden






















The 93 acres around the conservatory



I'm not sure what this is/was






Sculpture is called NavStar

The Palm Room

This is in the original conservatory
it now contains palms








There were professional photographers
 taking photos


Mom and daughters 
drawing


a girl making a wish in the fountain


Among the palms are the orchids that are being featured

























Leaving the old portion
to the new area






This is part 5 in the series
