Annmarie Garden in Lights Dec 22, 21019

Annmarie Garden in Lights is spectacular this year.  Well worth the visit if you are properly dressed for the weather.


 It was princess night with a flute choir.  These fair country folk were on hand to be photographed with young princesses to be.


 Winter scene


 Clever shadow area with several lights shining on white boards.


 These jellyfish were made of recycled plastic, even bubble wrap.



Don't forget to see the When Darkness Falls exhibit upstairs to see my ghost and fireworks photos!
