A walk around the gardens at Winterthur Museum on Sunday found all kinds of flowers in bloom, from the magnolias and the hillside of bloodroot above, to the lawn strewn with cherry blossom petals and the flowering quince below.

Every year when I stroll around the grounds, I say to myself how great it would be to have flowering quince or spirea in my yard. But then I sit down and look around at the wonderful vistas at Winterthur and think how lucky I am  to have all the work done by professionals and always ready for my visit at Winterthur.

Wow great shots !!! If you've never been to Winterthur you are really missing a great DuPont estate ! We need to make a trip back(even the restaurant is good).

Thanks, Michael. I like to convince myself I go for the exercise of walking up and down the hills, but Mother Nature and the garden staff make it a real pleasure!

Robert--I am sooo ready for spring and wish the warm weather would stay instead of playing games!

AR has definitely helped me hone my photography skills.
