The Rockefeller Gardens in Late July

Back in July my family stayed up in Trenton for a week at my grandparent's camp just across the bridge from Mount Desert Island. While we were up there we did tons of walking and hiking and I did a lot of picture taking. My favorite group of photos from the trip, however are the images that I took on a private tour of the Rockefeller's private gardens. (I've got connections ;) .) It is an extraordinarily beautiful place that is reminiscent of the childrens' movie The Secret Garden. Here are the best shots from that day:


Fun fact: All the tiles on the roof of this wall were imported from China.


Yes, the pine needles are actually collected and lain out on these paths.


btw- finally got the image links to work: click the images to see them larger!








One of the frog ponds.


The most beautiful moss covers the majority of the forest floor throughout the gardens.








See? Secret Garden.











It's a buddha statue at the top:








So beautiful. Hope you enjoyed! Coming soon: Amber and Tommie's wedding photos!
