Newport Trip - Summer 2008

I know, I know...I took these photos last summer, but these winter blues got me down. So here's a few pics that I took while Steph and I were down there.


The Marble House is my favorite mansion down in Newport. I'd love to live there for a day...or a week...month...couple of years?


More Marble House


People enjoying the view.


Chinese Tea House


Rosecliff...This was another gorgeous mansion. We wanted our wedding reception here...but no go. Too much $$$...unless there are anonymous donors?


Steph liked the statue a little too much...


View out from the fountain.


Nice balcony


I just wish the Newport Historical Society had a little more taste than putting a chain link fence around the property...they clearly didn't ask an architect.


Angles and Shapes are cool...


I loved being in the front of the house and still being able to see through to the ocean.


Rosecliff front gardens.


I pulled over on the side of the road for this shot.


The seagulls weren't even phased by me climbing closer to them.


I think this one was hamming it up for the camera.

Providence Flower Show

This past weekend, I made it over to the Providence Flower Show. I was expecting more flowers and such, but it was more of a Infomercial Heaven. But I did manage to get a few shots.

Enjoy!




Some kind of special orchid



A zen garden setup.



Some kind of fiery flower



And another...



I think these were fox somethings...I wasn't really good with remembering names.



Some yellow tulips.



and some more flowers I don't know the names of.
