Can you imagine that the over 1,000 acres of Longwood Gardens had no grand plan? Longwood's web site says that Pierre S. du Pont built them piecemeal, beginning with the 'old-fashioned' Flower Garden Walk. He must have had some skill, as the flower walk was 600 feet long. And his 'pieces' were massive conservatory greenhouses and water fountain gardens on the scale of the Villa Gamberaia in Italy.
So today's images are from Longwood Gardens and you can see how wonderfully intense colour appears when there is an overcast sky. The moisture in the air makes everything 'dreamy' in appearance. The Love temple image has been processed by nature's own filters.
