Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"


Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty. 







And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?"

And "Where's Eddie?"

~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Beautiful pictures. I especially love the iris, just perfect in their raindrops looking like jewels. Thanks for the Magical Moment! :-)

I do so adore lilacs. Thanks for sharing these! (and belated congratulations on the album--of course I want one!!) Happy happy weekend, Elizabeth!
Dan said…
Gorgeous!

Now quickly... get a lotto ticket. Your luck with weather might help with the numbers. :)
Oh such beautiful photographs. My favorites are the first lilac and the first iris and, of course, both "where's...?" photos. I don't think there's any fragrance in the world that I like better than lilac, and I could almost smell them in these pictures.

I found you quickly, but had to squint my old lady eyes to find the Mr!
The flowers are so gorgeous and how nice was Mother Nature to give you a break in the rain???? Wonderful!
Robin said…
Beautiful - your posts always bring joy to my day... Hey, Eddie was really well hidden. Hope the CD sales are going well.
Steve Gravano said…
I can smell those fragrant lilacs! What a place that must be, thanks for sharing it. Your photos are beautiful.
The flowers are beautiful!! I found Elizabeth on a bench beneath the tree...and Eddie was tough to see in the flowering bushes
Like the game!

Wow- gorgeous photos, Elizabeth. Pungent lilacs! Were you drunk on the scent of lilac walking through that beautiful garden? Is that why we can't find Eddie? ;)

(Or is it me that's drunk and can't find Eddie? Ha!)

Fun post, Elizabeth. :)
That Janie Girl said…
Ha!! Love your pictures, and the magical moment!
Hilary said…
They look delicious! My lilacs are in full bloom right now and every time I step out into the back yard.. yum!

The Where's Elizabeth and Where's Eddie photos made me laugh. You were easy enough to spot but I had to search for Eddie. That made me laugh. :)
Rick said…
Stunning shots, Elizabeth. The rain made everything look so fresh and gave the colors extra depth.

I love these flowers...and the garden is so pretty. I see you sitting so cute:)
Hilary said…
Elizabeth was a tad easier to find than Eddie but nice to see both of your faces amid the lovely flora. Lilacs are so fleeting but incredibly heady flowers. Lovely photos, dear Elizabeth.. and Eddie.

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le

Magical Moment 606, "Thank You Canada!"

After an intense week as a participant in the  Musician's Mentorship Program  with Canada's National Ballet School in Toronto, I am back in the good ol' US of A. The trip was a success, not only did I learn a TON in the program, but I got to see Canada for the first time, increasing my number of countries visited to 3! (Mexico and South Korea, if you're wondering about the other 2). I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians who didn't hesitate to dish out their best advice, tips, and secrets to me. In addition, I was surrounded by some beautiful scenery and amazing sights. The trip got even better when Eddie flew out to meet me half way through the week, and even BETTER when I was able to meet up with a friend, known only through the blogosphere until now. Yes ladies and gentlemen,  Hilary of The Smitten Image  herself happens to live only minutes from where I resided in Toronto. I admit, it was a little like meeting a celebrity. I first "met" Hi
