After saying farewell to Marty, and Bruce and Gene (not pictured anywhere) and departing Emmitsburg we proceeded on to Philadelphia (Germantown). Why I took no pictures in Germantown, I have no idea. But, we ventured south to visit Longwood Gardens. Beautiful botanical gardens which were formerly a DuPont home it seems. It also seems that the DuPonts might have been enamored with Versailles what with the water gardens and the dancing fountains and grand topiaries. I found the Conservatory with its green walls (literally green plants to fill the walls in places), orchids and water lilies to be the best part of the visit. And again, as with most of the summer, it was right warm out there!
Camera time and old friends
Back in early late May/early June a friend from high school (ok, so we've probably known each other since elementary school dance classes) came for a few days to visit. We entertained ourselves one morning by wandering around with our cameras -- love this waterfall!...
