@LocustGroveEstate, #Poughkeepsie, #NewYork "Royal Retreats: The Holiday Homes of Queen Victoria & The Prince" presentation by Ian Cox at Locust Grove Estate, South Road, Poughkeepsie, New York -

“Queen Victoria and Prince Albert held court at their official residences, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. However, during the early years of their marriage they yearned for private retreats where they could enjoy family life. The royal couple would go on to acquire estates at Osborne, East Cowes on the Isle of Wight and at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Prince Albert would take a hand in developing suitable houses for the time they would spend in each of these special places—Osborne built between 1845-1851 and designed in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo, and Balmoral completed in 1856 in the Scots Baronial style. Both properties became central to their lives and much loved holiday homes, each providing, in different ways, much needed relief from the intense pressures of court life in and near the capital. Osborne became a monument to their marriage and Balmoral a remote and very Scottish seasonal home. The latter is still much enjoyed by the royal family today. Ian Cox's lecture will explore the history, development and significance of both of these fascinating royal residences.”

Athan looking up from his artwork to pose for this picture.

..... she slept on it!

She was discovered sleeping on a window screen stored overhead in the garage. This is the view looking up at her. There is no place that cats won't check out and sleep at!

Star light, star bright,

The first star I see tonight;

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have the wish I wish tonight.

Looking up the inside of the Ponce De Leon Inlet light tower. The light is still in operation with a fourth order Fresnel lens while the station is a museum reached by driving south on A1A in Daytona Beach.

lying on my back in the woods called The Million near Stourbridge i stare at the sky and the canopy of trees and just relax

Same as the other views of the Radisson's atrium, just more of the elevators and some of the decorative statuary. I had the idea when I took these that I could make a "vertorama" out of them, and maybe I still could, but for now I'm not.
