Beautiful grand piano in the Visitor Pavilion. Red poinsettias reflected in the piano along with the Christmas lights from outside.

You walk in to the Pavilion and it’s one of the first things you see at the garden.

Daniel Stowe Gardens during the Christmas season.

The Orchid Tree!

I just got back from a visit to Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens tonight. We saw the spectacular Christmas lights and I will be sharing some of these in the days to come.

If you haven’t been, it’s not too late.

Some black & white, sepia toned, sketches and artwork from original photos and different colored tones of Charlotte, NC.

If you have a special request, send me an email and I’ll make it available.

YUM! M & M’s Mint Candy

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”

Norman Vincent Peale

OK…. I’m wishing for some snow!

A Christmas Decoration

Pretty white poinsettias with Christmas passage Luke 2:11.

Christmas trees lighted up around the lake in McAdenville, NC. Beautiful town this time of year!
If you haven’t been before, you need to go and experience this once in your life time. Prepare to drive slow through the town and enjoy the sights.
