This year for our vacation we went to Newport Rhode Island. This was our 3rd trip to Newport but it had been many years since our last visit. Our favorite thing to do is visit the gorgeous victorian era mansions or "cottages" as they were called over 100 years ago.
I did take lots of photos of the houses but there are just too many pictures to sort through at the moment so I thought I would concentrate on the luscious landscaping for now.
Everywhere you turn there are beautiful vistas of the Atlantic ocean.
Gorgeous houses everywhere you look.
One evening we took a walk along the marina as the sun was going down....just beautiful.
Newport was full of Hydrangeas and this particular home had the most gorgeous purple blooms I've seen.
Next time I will show some mansions and lots of beautiful garden sculptures that are sure to inspire some of my future nature scapes.

Looks like you had gorgeous weather for your vacation. Hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers. Cottages? Wow. I want one!
