More Longwood Photos

Posted on October 12, 2022November 30, 2022 by Annie

Since y’all liked the Longwood Gardens post so much, here’s a half-dozen or so photos that didn’t make it into that post. I really like them, so they’re getting their own little showcase right here.

Pink flower bud with two pods next to it.
Yet another beauty with the iPhone 13 camera.

Playing with the macro camera on the iPhone 13, then a close crop, gave me this view into the heart of a bloom. Each flower is a little miracle when you gaze at it long enough.

The petals of this bloom were just as soft as you would think. It was so, so delicate, and so, so beautiful.

Art After Dark

One art installation at Longwood that I thought would be really cool actually wasn’t all that when it was lit up after dark. But coming in closer and then cropping out everything else still made for an interesting shot.

In the other Longwood post, there’s a shot of these CDs with the light show engaged. They actually look just as cool in the light of day.

Long rows of CDs, with each row tilted at at angle, as part of an Art in the Dark installation

If I Had a Garden…

If I had a house and a lot of space in the yard, I’d love to have a garden like this one, including that fountain. I’d probably also like a full-time gardener 🙂

Outdoor garden centered around a square fountain, with tile walkways

As long as I’m dreaming, I’d add a conservatory onto the house or as a separate structure and fill it with plants so that I’d have greenery all year long, even in the coldest of winters. A girl can dream, can’t she?


Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than emperors.
