Beautiful Flowers in Winter

Amaryllis
When we visited the Conservatory at Biltmore House and Gardens on Dec. 2, 2013,  we captured some gorgeous shots of their Poinsettias and Amaryllis blooms.  Today, I'll share some of these with you.  Be sure to click on the photos for enlargements.

As you can imagine,  after seeing all of this beauty,  George and I were definitely in the mood for Christmas.  Now that it's well into January,  I must admit that since I love Christmas SO much,  I go through a 'down' time after it is all over...  There's just so much beauty and so much joy during the Christmas season.  I only wish there was a way we could keep that kind of enthusiasm about life going the rest of the year.  But--just like life itself,  there are always ups and downs!!!!!  Fun fun!!!!

NOTE:  Anyone getting an email from me (with a Cox.net address)--do NOT open it. I will not send out an email just with a link.  The one that hubby got, was a link and said AMAZING.   I must have gotten spammed!  I will change passwords AGAIN.  Thanks..

Another NOTE:  NOTE:  Anyone with Google+  may want to read THIS if you don't want your name used in advertisements --which you may not recommend.

Have a great day.

Hugs,
