Bellingrath Gardens

We went to Bellingrath with our homeschool group on Friday night.
It was fun.
Sadly, few of my pictures turned out, so I was a little frustrated.
Still, there were a bunch that I'm gonna put out so you can get in the spirit of Bellingrath.

Just like Geoffrey! He was goofy, which meant he was either tired or super excited. Or both.


I took so many pictures of these swans, it was entirely probable that not one of them would turn out. Yet here we are...:)

Before I took this shot, Cameron came up to me and was like, "Hey, Meredith, what's the sign for peace?" So I showed him. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?

 Somebody told me that this was supposed to look like a waterfall. It made me think of the world of Pandora from the movie Avatar. See how the color kept getting drained?


 My poor camera couldn't figure out what to focus on! Maybe next time we go I'll have a better click-click.

A lot of my pictures showed the lights beautifully, but they're shaped funny cuz I couldn't hold still. What? It was cold, and I was excited, and there were a bunch of people behind me, so I couldn't stop.

 A pond, or something. I was getting quite frustrated at my camera right about now.

Giddyup, horsies! The underwater scenes were cool.

 Don't those look like the Christian fish?

 When I was taking this shot, we were by the scene in the next picture. I was ignoring it and taking pictures of the garbage. Go figure.

 This is one of those "farting rainbows" scenes that everybody loves but few people actually do.

 I like candy.

 Yay! A jack-in-the-box!

 Yes, we are cute. We're adorable, in fact. This will probably be our Christmas photo, now that I fixed the red eyes. We used to look like devil children.

 O Tannebaum, O Tannebaum!

 Oooh, pretty flowers!!!

 Oooh, more pretty flowers!!!

The Big Glowing Orb of Bellingrath Christmas Spirit and Stuff. Yeah, that was an impromptu naming.

Overall, it was fun. And cold. And crowded. But fun.
