Sean and I went to Longwood Gardens a few weeks ago so we could see the holiday decor before it came down. What was exceptionally pretty to me was the outdoor lighting! They really outdid themselves. It was fun to walk among the glowing, glistening tree and things. Not having a tripod made it a bit more difficult to capture the magic. I tried though!

In the conservatory there was a magnificent of red and green apples in a swirl pattern floating in some water. There were over 18 thousand of them.

We went after dark and it was hard to get good shots. I like to use natural light as much as possible.

Pretty pears graced this tree. (flash)

We sat a bit and listened to the player organ

Chandelier is the music hall

Sean is always fun to go with to places like this. 🙂

A wreath with orchids!

A living wreath

The local schools decorated trees too!

They are growing pineapples too!

Even the fountain had lights!

We had a pasta and roasted veggie dinner in their cafe.

In a few days, the orchid show opens up!
