This is the front view of The Biltmore. It was a cloudy day with snow coming in later in the day and the picture just turned out stunning, I think.
We went to the North Carolina Arboretum the previous day. Funny, the day before it snowed, it was 70 degrees out. This is a bee I caught in a Redbud tree.
There was a bonsai exhibit with several amazing ones. Did you know they can live for 200 years if cared for properly? I like that they also added landscapes to the tree. Just beautiful!
I've been learning how to use my camera and with the beautiful day and starting to understand the functions, I managed to get a pretty picture of this daffodil.
I have no idea what kind of flower this is. I liked the picture.Now that I'm back and refreshed, I hope to have more in my shop very soon!

Nice pictures! I didn't know there's so much to do in NC.
Sounds like a nice time. I wonder if the Biltmore in Colorado Springs got its name from there.
Looks like you had a great time. Your pictures are beautiful. I love redbuds, they're one of my favorites. Love bonsais too, but they don't love me - I've killed a few in my lifetime.
The Biltmore looks like something straight out of a fantasy film!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I think you and Chris have similar tastes to us. I loved the house and the gardens. Did you find all the secret passages? We're due to go again soon, haven't seen the bonsais before and need a refresher at the winery. Chad said we hadnt been in much longer than I realized, haha!
Sounds like a great trip. I love the bonsais too -- I'm always impressed with the meticulous work people put into them
So, how was the Bed of Roses?
