Brookside Gardens (Maryland) in December

Brookside Gardens has their seasonal 'Garden of Lights' happening in the evenings but I went during the day for a winter walk. With the early winter foliage and the intricacies of the lighting displays, there was plenty to see. The bulbs for next spring have been planted under netting but there was a squirrel that escaped with at least one bulb while I was there.

The sea monster/dragon (with a smaller one by its side) looks a lot less fierce in the daytime than it does at night. It fits well in the drained pool in the garden near the conservatory.

The lights used to make this flower were very densely packed....quite a bright glow along the pathway through the gardens.
