Mid-Summer at Chanticleer | Photos
by Elouise

A week ago D and I drove over to Chanticleer Gardens for a late afternoon stroll. Not a quick walk, but a stroll. An amble. A creep-along marathon of nonstop mid-summer beauty.
Here are some favorite up-close photos.





Unlike Longwood Gardens, Chanticleer has small, laid back elegance. Lawn chairs, picnic tables, rocking chairs and quiet spaces invite visitors to take their time exploring delightful nooks and crannies and whimsical garden architecture. Or read a book and take a nap on the grass.





And my final five!





One more extra feature–a map you can use when you come to visit!

Fantastic! What is the third photo? Is that a pitcher plant (spelling?)

Yes, though I’m not sure which kind. It traps insects….π

Yes…no rushing around here, and plenty of places to be relatively alone if that’s your cup of tea! Just back from a regular check-up with my Lucy pacemaker doctor. He says Lucy has been doing an outstanding job! And he showed me the charts to prove it. I think Lucy deserves a little break today, but alas, she’s not wired for breaks…:( She’ll just have to settle for my happy face! π
