Christmas At the Gardens

melinda010100 in #hive-190931 • last year

The light display this year at the Botanical Garden is spectacular, even without any snow. They claim there are over 1.5 million lights.

test video from my mobile device using Ecency app

The mild temperatures that we have been having made it much more pleasant to walk through and enjoy the lights. It's certainly much easier to take pictures when your fingers aren't freezing!

The displays are dazzling, but I love it when there is a bit of snow on the ground to hide the electrical cords. Even though most of the lights are LED, I always wonder what the electrical bill must be!

Admission to get in is $12 for adults and $5 for children. They have limited hours and lights go off at 9pm.
The walk is about 2/3rds of a mile, but you can walk at your own pace and stay as long as you like.

I'm posting this into the FeelGood Community.
Be sure and check out the Kindest Night of the Year Challenge that @phoenixwren is hosting there.
It's a contest that will make us all Feel Good!

Rotary Gardens is here in Janesville. It is such a beautiful place. One of the best gardens in the Midwest. When I was a kid it was an abandoned quarry where local kids went to get up to all sorts of shenanigans!

Thats a cool back story 👍 seems every midWest town had a quarry with a reputation as a place kids got into trouble. And various other urban legends.

Not yet, but if I want to make asado negro and I would like to make a shrimp hallacas, let's see how these days go. I'm saving money to paint the living room so I can put up the Christmas tree. I imagine the boys will go to your house. What is the typical food there for Christmas?

Looks really stunning. It does.
My inner voice (which sometimes is really annoying) says 1.5 million lights that huge amount of energy.
But the energy ... all that energy (Anna Hathaway voice from Interstellar)

I'm with you. It's a fund raiser for the garden, so I suppose that is how they justify it. It is such a huge waste of energy.

That's a whole lot of pretty lights, @melinda010100, and I love that the video was taken using a testing version of the Ecency app! It's nice the temperatures were more mellow, so that taking photos was more pleasant! I know what it feels like to have your fingers freezing as you try to take photos! I'm glad that you had a good time! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
