Phipps A Great Day

The photos I will share tonight may seem like adding salt to a wound for once again it is snowing in Erie but on Sunday it was a different story. Waking up to sunshine here in Erie with clear blue skies was a real treat. We decided after Church to drive a bit further South to Pittsburgh to visit some in your face Springtime at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. It was wonderful with outdoor temps near 70 and the gardens inside busting out with colors only found in the biggest box of Crayons. It was a great day.

Here are some shots from the day.









Thank you for looking.
