Ready to tour the WhisperWood Cottage garden & grounds?
Pah-lease! What you are about to see is sooo not my yard and/or garden! The only thing I can do with plants and flowers is to photograph them. Nature makes the best models! Now, I hope you'll join me for a stroll. I'll tell you a bit later where we are...
 |
| Let's head this way toward the Flower Garden... |
 |
| Some stately pines welcome you. |
 |
| This shack? Just the gardener's cottage. |
 |
| Come on up! Enjoy the blooms! |
So where are these lovely grounds? They surround the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, MN. RJNJ and I toured it with his parents this past weekend. Now, let's take a look at the actual mansion...
 |
| It's right this way... |
 |
| Ta da! 39 nine rooms of ta-da to be exact! |
 |
| Stunning architecture! |
 |
| Now what is around through this gate? |
 |
| It's the fountain! That body of water through the trees is Lake Superior. |
 |
| The lake side of the house... |
 |
| Many people have their weddings here. |
Oh, there is more to see! They wouldn't let us take any photos of the interior of the home, but I have some fun beach shots to show you. We'll head down the path to the Boathouse and Pier...
It's a beautiful place, inside and out. I toured there in 2003. Too bad about it's history though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending the pics of the gardens.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful.....and your photography...wow!
ReplyDeleteMany years back I stayed at the B & B next door...is that called "The Mansion?" Very enjoyable. Duluth is so beautiful.
Beautiful grounds! Don't you just wish...oh I do.
ReplyDeleteThe son-in-law did it in the stairway with a candlestick.

My mom made my sister and I go on more than one tour through Glensheen when we were kids, and I thought it was soooo lame and boring. But isn't it funny - now I'd love to tour it again! Maybe I'll even take my girls when they get older and continue the tradition ;)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are (always) stunning! What a beautiful day you had!
