Flowers with Nany Pat (Warning: possible photo overload)

 

Sammy and I spent the past couple of days in southeastern Pennsylvania with my mother-in-law, Pat.   She lives about a half an hour away from Longwood Gardens, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather forecast and headed over there on Wednesday to take in the sights.  It was a photographer's paradise (and I don't even know what I'm doing half of the time):

We made our way to the conservancy after taking in all of the gardens outside, and were greeted by the heady and intoxicating scent of thousands upon thousands of lilies in the new exhibit aptly named Lilytopia.  It was simply gorgeous--I had no idea that there were so many different types of lilies, each one more beautiful than the next.
