The Garden of the East


GG's 2007 Road Trip

My day was spent in the old resurrected Colonial town of Williamsburg and I mean my whole day. It actually covers 300 acres, I understand, and I think I walked at least half!

The Governors Palace on the Palace Green is so beautiful and I really wish I could send a picture but as so often happens, those particular shots did not turn out. I was relieved to see that those taken in the Palace Gardens did. It was such a hot day and when I walked to the back of the Palace into the gardens I sat on a bench and soaked up the coolness as well as the beauty. It's laid out in big beds of flowers separated with box hedges and walkways, the beds of red, yellow and blue big rectangles of color. And then these intricate white filigree gates. Lovely!
