The New Orleans Botanical Gardens has a special exhibit on called “China Lights.” It was recommended by a friend of my SIL’s who lives in New Orleans. It would have been much more beautiful at night, but the only chance we had to see it was Sunday morning. Although I like the photos in the SNAP collage, overall the exhibit seemed a bit overdone. Tracy commented that without the China Lights display, the gardens themselves would be a bit disappointing, at least at this time of year. I supposed we’re spoiled since the Chicago Botanic Gardens and the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with which we’re familiar are so spectacular. (Rochester has a few small gardens and many lovely parks, but no botanical garden.) Nonetheless, we had a very pleasant hour or so walking around, taking photos, and ended up at a great Po’boy restaurant for lunch we would have missed had we not been in that part of town.
Linking this set up with Helena, and off to see what other sets folks have found this week. Before I go, I thought I’d share another photo of the dragon to help put his size in perspective.
big and colourful – good that they are nice to look at during daylight too as ‘ve been to some lantern displays that only look good when they are lit
A WOW SNAP collection. That is some dragon, frieze while quite beautiful.
I had auto correct – fierce not frieze …. I swear I know how to spell.
Beautiful SNAP Karen!
New Orleans has really inspired you and I look forward to seeing some of these photos scrapped in your PL
wow..the exhibit does look a bit overwhelming! But I bet it would be cool lit up at night.
What a beautiful images of images! The colours are wonderful!
Beautiful. I have a thing for Chinese lanterns, always have done, ever since I was little
What a lovely, cheery collection. Love the peacock! I’ll have to google to find some night time images!
Can’t imagine how dynamic these must be “up front and personal.” Clearly colorful and catches one attention. On a gloomy day, just the spot of bright color I needed! Especially since it was without tree pollen!
Cheers~
Oh, that dragon is spectacular! You’ve done a great job of bringing us some fabulous photos.
That last one really does give the perspective. They are great to photograph because they are so colourful. I bet they look great in the dark too.
