Fountains blown by the wind in an expansive outdoor plaza at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.

Had a few complimentary tickets to Longwood Gardens (dating back to my Bluecadet days) and before they expired we decided to pay a visit.

Trees at the edge of a small pond.
A fountain in a small pool.
Windows and balcony of a large treehouse.

We went up one of the handful of treehouses, and took a walk through the big meadow, a place I had not seen in past visits.

Hanging plants in a greenhouse interior. The floor is covered in a thin layer of water.

The Bonsai Courtyard is relatively new, but a big treat for Em, who is quite fascinated by the art.

I think that’s a duck?
