Posing with the girls. Alura's new doll and Arianna's new hat. All at Williamsburg.

A scene from the courthouse in Williamsburg, thankfully, we were just watching, not on trial...

In the stockades at Williamsburg. Alura and I found it extremely uncomfortable. Can't even imagine those who had to endure it for a day or more...

More Flower Show shots, from an Indian wedding theme to Florida Flamingos. This flower show had everything. Even a hot air balloon done in dried flowers (the same treatment for this elephant). Amazing sights and scents. It's supposedly the world's largest indoor flower show. Of course I also bought a few items... some peonies and garden trellises to take back on the bus. A great trip. I hope our local county does it again next year. Of course the wine tasting there was fun too...I tried Absinthe for the first time. Not quite my cup of tea, but I can say I've tried this recently permissible drink.

Scenes from "Africa" at the Philadelphia Flower Show in March. Dozens of masks made from assorted seed pods etc. Couldn't fit the whole giraffe into the frame. It was gigantic!

Shot from Philadelphia Flower Show back in March -- beautiful orchids everywhere!

Our Garden Fairy

Looks pretty good even with the empty fall garden...Maybe she is blowing the leaves around?
