December 2008
Every year, Lucie and I go out to lunch to Christmas and exchange gifts. This year we decided to make it an outing to Longwood Gardens. As usual, they outdid themselves!

The rose arches are lit in blue. Unfortunately there were no lighted wisteria on them this year.

The fountain show is one of the best parts of Christmas at Longwood

Lights are everywhere

The conservatory is all decked out

The tree in the conservatory is so big that the ornaments are poinsettia plants

It's hard to see in this photo but that's 1100 pounds of cranberries floating in the water!

Have you ever seen such a tall poinsettia?

I love the way that the winterberries look
