LARRY'S PHOTOS -- SAND SCULPTING

It's time for another installment of my brother Larry's photos.  With all the cold weather we've been having I thought I would take you to a warm place -- Atlantic City, NJ during June of last year to see the Sand Sculpting Contest.

Doesn't this look so nice and warm?  It's keeping me going.  It is going to get warm again, isn't it?

These sculptors are so talented.  I don't think I would have the heart to put so much work into something that would go out with the tide.  Hope you enjoyed seeing them.

FRIDAY VIEW -- LARRY'S PHOTOS

7 days till Valentine's Day

I worked at the Fishtown Branch today.  That means for the first time in four weeks I have Saturday off.  That's very nice.  I actually get two days in a row at home.

It was very slow today.  I like slow Fridays.  It sort of eases me into the weekend.

We are getting more snow tomorrow and Sunday.  *sigh*  I think I will be cleaning the house, getting caught up on dishes and laundry, and trying to get all my Valentine's Day decorations up.  Maybe I'll get energized enough to make some chicken soup.

For your Friday view today I thought I would show you some more of the photos my brother Larry took at Longwood Gardens on New Year's Day.  I showed you the inside shots last month, so let me show you the outside ones.

This is a bell tower with beautiful caroline bells that ring every hour

I love this little gazebo

I haven't been to Longwood Gardens in many years, but I'm hoping to get there this summer.  It's a beautiful place.

Another beautiful sunset that I didn't get a picture of because I was driving home.  Hopefully I can get one to show you tomorrow.

Are you tired of the snow and ice?  Would you rather see flowers than icicles?  Me too.  On New Year's Day my brother, Larry and his wife, Kim, went to Longwood Gardens which is a rather famous arboritum just outside of Philadelphia.  It is on land formerly owned by the DuPonts.

Here are some pictures from their visit there.  Hope you enjoy them and have a breath of spring during this deep freeze we are in.

 

Feeling warmer now?

LARRY'S PHOTOS

This was such a popular post last month that I have gotten together some more of my brother Larry's photos for you to see.  These were taken in Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 1, 2012.  With all the cold weather we've been having I figured some warm weather pictures were in order.  Enjoy!
