Garden Holiday D'Lights

A holiday tradition for Holly and I, is to go view the amazing lights over at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens. Each year they put on the "Holiday Garden D'Lights." It truly is a beautiful work of art. Well over 70K lights are painstakingly intertwined amongst the gardens, out buildings, grounds and lawns. So many animals and floral types are represented in light. We love this tradition.



Birdhouses all lit up.



Dear Santa, I would like a GINORMOUS bronze and brass bull frog for Christmas. I think this would go well in our garden courtyard...



Tick-Tock, the Alice in Wonderland crocodile...



The profile of "us," LOL! The flash had to be off, so we could capture the lights!



Garden flowers, amazingly beautiful.

A frog on a lilly pad in one of the garden ponds.






Palm Tree and other foliage renditions in light.



The grand lawn at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, I love the peacock!



All sorts of flowers are typically on display in various colors and fashions.

Beautiful Wisteria on the trellis structures.

I'm definitely a fan of the peacock. So, so cool.

The mondo frog WILL look great in the courtyard.
