Finally, some Cherry Blossoms

On our last day of the trip we went to Longwood Gardens an amazing expanse of cultivated gardens. They have an Italian Water Garden, many cherry blossom trees, an Orchid room and so much more. Pierre du Pont, of the Du Pont chemical company, purchased the land in 1906 to preserve the trees and he began to create most of what is seen today. The gardens are extensive and well worth the trip. Mom said that she hadn't been in spring before, so she was very excited as most plants were in bloom and absolutely gorgeous.

Below are just a few of beautiful things we saw.

When I look at some of these flowers and the many varieties that there are, I can't help but see God's hand and his masterful artistry.

I just love multiple cherry blossom trees together. It's like nature's soft focus. They make a gorgeous background. I was so glad that the season hadn't passed us by entirely.
