Flowers in LonGisland
On Sunday, the 5 of us went to Old Westbury Gardens. There we saw acres of beautifully-manicured botanical gardens along with a mansion built in 1906.
The mansion
Impressive gold-leafing
One of the rooms inside, complete with mannequin representations of the Phipps family who once lived there
Gorgeous marbled fireplace
View of the gardens
And its protectress...

Hi, S!
I want a planter like this
Many happy, buzzing bees
S's aunt takes lots of pictures, too :)
Farewell, friend
