Longwood Gardens has always been one of my favorite local day trips. I’ve been there a few times at Christmas and once a long time ago during the summer, but I’d never been there for tulip season. A few weeks ago when their tulips were in full bloom I went out there for the day. Almost a quarter million tulips is hard to descibe. Luckily a picture says a thousand words and I took plenty of photos.

You can view some of them in the photos section of my site, right here.

• Just got back from @longwoodgardens. 235,000 tulips are quite a site! Took over 300 pictures. Hope there’s a few keepers in there. #
• Just had a great dinner at Nunzio’s in Collingswood. Highly recommend it. They even have carpaccio. http://bit.ly/cWsZsX #
• and the towel catalog has grown again! http://bit.ly/32PTIn #
• @kfc_colonel Just tried the Double Down sandwich. Delicious! Finally a sandwich sans bread. Should make it a permanent menu item. #
• RT @awanj: “Turn your trash into treasure for our animals! http://bit.ly/bcSb1K" – Easy way to help. Donate stuff you’d normally throw away. #
• Finally getting a haircut. Trying to minimize my chance of being mistaken for a large shaggy dog. #
• Just stopped at what I thought was a farmer’s market. Turned out to be an environmental fair. Big fail. What a disappointment. #

Longwood Gardens is a fun place to visit all year long but at Christmas time it’s a totally different place. The amount of lights and flowers is astounding. They’ve really exapanded the displays since the last time I was there two years ago.

Because we were there after dark this year, there aren’t as many great photos, but there was plenty of cold weather and Christmas lights which is all it takes to make me happy apparently! Check out the photos here.

December has been a productive month for photography on my site. I just added even more photos. You can check out a bunch of photos from Christmas at Longwood Gardens in the Photos section.
