Chanticleer Garden

Yesterday we went to Chanticleer Garden up near Philadelphia.  It's an easy day trip from DC and well worth the effort.  I hadn't ever heard of this place until very recently when I got to see a book my friend's daughter had been working on.  She did quite a bit of editing and selecting of photos for a this very beautiful book that has just come out called Chanticleer, A Pleasure Garden.   I've been wanting to see the gardens in person ever since I saw the book.

Anyway I'm pooped again, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
