Secret Entrance into the knot garden
Enter if you will into the beautiful and imaginary Bishop’s Garden.
Walking through the ivy laden archway through to the knot garden we will stroll.
Our way watched by blooming Camelias.
Inside it will be perpetual spring with Cherry trees blooming profusely, lining our walk with light and fresh scents.
Along our way we will find frogs spewing the essence of life, a charming fountain for all to enjoy.
Hillwood Museum
Swans gracefully floating with their wings brightened by the sun, and the water dancing with diamonds.
Tundra Swan
A young lady shares great love and trust with her white steed.
Apassionata
Cherubs will stand gracefully ready to entertain us with their charm.
National Gallery of Art
And the sound of a natural waterfall soothes our soul.
Shenandoah National Park
Here we will have a rocking chair to sit and whittle the hours away.
Cross Creek, Florida
And little kittens will snooze in the morning sun.
Ollantaytambo, Peru
A fox hunt is to be observed today.
Ladew Gardens
But of course what really is behind the Bishop’s Garden Door is…..
The Washington National Cathedral
Where the sun sets brightly every evening.
Magothy River
Indeed, the Bishop’s Garden is a true eden, where all of our dreams come true.

Fantastic series, enjoyed them all! Especially loved the swan, waterfall, and cute kitty!
Thank you for taking me into this wonderful place!
You are so very kind Phil, and such great taste ! You picked two of my favorites. Bet you can guess which ones. Thank you so much!
What a lovely place for relax the bishop have when he’s not at work at the cathedral… 🙂 😉
Great shots… 🙂
The Bishop does have a place that tends to take one away from one’s duties. In fact, I’d probably never get any work done with a garden like this.
Fabulous imaginary place, Emily. Love the swan and camelias the best, but they’re all great. 🙂
Thank you so much Sylvia ! I appreciate you sharing with me your favorites as it helps me see my photos through someone else’s eyes.
Loving your post – glad to finally find out what was behind the door – ha! Loving your photos – the fox hunt oh so creative! Happy Day:)
Thanks Renee ! Yes ! I love the fox-hunt topiary – really cool and unique. Ladew Gardens is world renowned for the numerous topiaries throughout the gardens. So happy you enjoyed this post.
Wonderful, wonderful pictures!! I’ve heard about Apassionata, would love to see it! They’re coming to Holland in December 2013 so hopefully I can get tickets.. 🙂
You will love it. So many different breeds. I got the VIP tickets so sat ringside. The very next week they canceled the remaining US tour dates so I was lucky.
Wow! This is over the top fantastic!! A wonderful fantasy place to be! Love it : )
You are so awesome Judy ! It really makes my day when you pop in and enjoy these posts so much ! I am so grateful for your kind words.
Thank you! Your blog and pictures are incredible! Thank you for sharing them : )
It is my great pleasure!
A beautiful collection of photos, Emily.
Thank you so much Bente ! I decided to go through this year and pick one photo from each month. Although they aren’t all a ‘gallery’ shot, I did like these.
So worth the wait
THANKS SO MUCH
Just Beautiful from Start to End!

Awesome Eunice ! So happy to share with you my imaginary Bishop’s Garden.
Loved it! I am a gardener of all BEAUTIFUL THINGS 🙂
Maggie wants to visit this magical place and play with the kitty. So beautiful! 🙂 🙂
LOL ! Somehow I think the kitty will be upset having his nap disturbed. Have a great day!
Maggie is always up for a nap! he he 😉
beautiful images – a serenity that calms -you are fortunate to be able to visit and photograph these great places – so many will just walk by and not open the door – it takes imagination to enter into another world – and sometimes daring
It is true Will. These photos are from my photo field trips from this year. Going over them, I have been truly fortunate to see some very special places. Many are in my area ! Indeed, imagination, and daring opens a whole new world!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for taking us along from that intriguing entrance to the glorious sunset!
It is my pleasure Madhu and so happy you enjoyed this visit.
