Life is Magic: Skylands Botanical Gardens

Last weekend, Matthew, Bella, & I took a ride to the Skylands Botanical Gardens. The gardens are about fifteen minutes from our house. How lucky are we? I know, I know.

It is the most magical place. The gardens are the perfect place for explorations & adventures. We love this place so much. (Which is also why we had our engagement photographs taken there in October!)

On this day, we explored winding trails through the woods & let Bella run free across the crab apple vista. The golden November sun left me feeling rather feline as you’ll see in the photographs. Hope you enjoy viewing them as much as Bella, Matthew, & I enjoyed taking them.  I posted a quick video at the end, too.  It’s only a minute long, but it takes my breath away every time.  ♥

    Tried to look at this video yesterday on my iThingy, but, no luck. Very nice pics and the video is great. Adele adds a nice touch as well.

      Me, too!  I wrote it whilst I was in the middle of my tizzy on Saturday.  It helped loads.

    Love that cat mask, and Andra is right – this post is relaxing!
