Longwood Gardens is the best place to chase away the winter doldrums...

Love these pretty salmon and pink primrose below. They had them mixed with a yellow Marguerite daisy and daffodils. Spring bliss!

Owl update. Saw the pair over the weekend, they look happy and healthy.
Even managed to get a few good photos.

Those are some beautiful flowers. Once again you did an amazing job of capturing them!
Love all your flower photos, Jen, especially the lily! It is COLD and snowy here [not our usual weather] so I will warm my hands on your sunny, warm flower pics.
Zoe is adorable in this photo!!!
I'm feeling better. On the mend, at long last. Imagine my delight to discover spring on your page. What a sight for sore eyes. LOVED all the photos. But my favorites were the pretty salmon colored Primroses, your daughter on the bench and those precious owls.
So envious of your macro lens. Your photos are fantastic, lucky girl! The owls are amazing, I would love to see them in person (in owl??) The colors at Longwood are enjoyable.
oh it is wonderful to see your flower photos in the midst of winter, i was even sighing out loud!
and the owls!!! special!
and that precious little girl, what a beautiful photograph.
Love the burst of color for the Winter months! Thank goodness for Conservatories! :-)
Beautiful owls! The flowers are stunning, but wow! I love those owls. And those gardens look like a breath of fresh air in wintertime.
I have yet to see an owl, my mom has one that lives near her barn which is right next to my house but I have never seen it. One day I'm going to have to camp out there and wait.... The flower pictures are amazing and of course your daughter is cute as a button!
These flower shots are just unreal, so incredible and the colours are delicious!
gorgeous flower photos :D really wish there was a place like that around here
Gorgeous pictures!!! The colors you captured in the hibiscus are luscious.
