{Gladiolus from our Garden for Memorial Weekend 2016}

A very meaningful weekend we have here in the U.S.A.

Memorial weekend with Memorial Day being Monday, May 30.
It is good for pausing a moment and honoring all those that gave all for the freedom of others!

Just had to take this photo outdoors for lack of light.

May your Memorial Weekend 2016 be a meaningful one!

Thanks for visiting.

{Rockefeller Center New York City}

On August 28 of 2015, when we did tour NYC by bus, of course one of the stops was at the Rockefeller Center.

Atlas is a huge bronze statue in front of Rockefeller Center

It is just across from St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The sculpture depicts the ancient Greek Titan Atlas, holding the heavens.

Rockefeller Center is a HUGE complex, spanning 22 acres or 8 hectare

Using the New York Public Library Digital Collection (see link below post) we can see the Streetview, Then and Now in 1911 and in 2015.

The Rockefeller Center is build in 1939

Beautiful Channel Gardens

I bet, the view from the Rock is breathtaking!

One only needs more time...

Happy sight to see all those flags waving!

Have you been to the Rockefeller Center?

Thanks for your visit!

{Our Gardenias are Blooming}

On Sunday we had again a full bowl of fresh gardenias from our garden.

Even though they do show some bruise marks from the extremely heavy rain we had for a couple of days.

This Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color Centerpiece is perfect for displaying them...

Here you can see the Wedgwood Centerpiece with its foot.

Are you also enjoying any Gardenias from your garden?

Thanks for stopping by!
