Nice one. I was surprised that so much work went into designing and building that park. I had thought it was just an area of nature set aside as a park.
Thanks for looking and commenting. Amazing how much resources and effort go into the park, which is huge. The Conservatory Garden is a good distance away from the most crowded areas, but is definitely worth going to. It is easily reached by bus and (with some walking) by subway.

Very nice!!! Just my opinion...I would crop to just under the lower branch on the top left hand side. To me those branches are distracting but the one coming in front the right gives a simple arch. Otherwise, I really like it.

Admittedly, I had not thought about the branches you find distracting. Cropping them seems like a good idea. Thank you for the constructive criticism.

"Secret Garden" is a good name for the spot where the picture was taken. Obviously, you are familiar with that location. Thanks for responding.

Thanks for the comment. They are now renovating the top floor of the house, so they are attempting to take care of the building at least. The gardens and statues did have a run-down look to them, but I found that to be part of their appeal.

Beauties, Allan! It is not too early to begin training the granddaughter to become a photographer (LOL).
I am trying, but so far no luck. Right now she is practicing being a teenager; that means showing complete indifference to whatever her parents or grandparents find interesting.

Last week my wife and I were visiting our son and family (first in-person visit in over a year), who lives in Fort Lauderdale. We all spent a few days in Miami, and visited Vizcaya, a mansion and adjoining gardens that was built in early 20th century. It is now a museum. I loved the gardens and would like to go back and spend a few hours or more just wandering around taking pictures. But with a nine year-old granddaughter and no other semi-serious photographers, I had to be a team player and go with the flow. Nevertheless I really like the three photos I am attaching here. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Wonderful presentation. Pictures would be interesting even without the context. Thanks for posting.
