This is the second part of my visit to Callaway Gardens yesterday. If you have not seen part one, you can view it here.

I was actually surprised by all the things there were still to see during the offseason at Callaway. So come and take a walk with me and see for yourself...

It's all so pretty! The train is very cool!

Much better to look at than our cold, yucky snow!
Kat W. Jan 11, 2009, 4:58pm EST
Beautiful photos! I may have to talk to hubby about an overnight stay. I think it would be nice to sit in their controlled gardens and enjoy the flowers for a couple of days. I miss my flowers :(

It's in Pine Mountain, Georgia, Mona. Not far from FDR State Park.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Jan 11, 2009, 5:37pm EST
I've never been there but I've always heard it was beautiful.

Where is FDR State Park? Is it near Warm Springs?
Chris E. Jan 11, 2009, 5:43pm EST

Such beautiful splendor, you did a marvelous job of photographing it.
Jessie L. Jan 12, 2009, 2:22pm EST
What beautiful gardens! I wish there were sights like that around here... but living in the northeast in January doesn't really facilitate flower growth, lol. Great photo essay Marianne.
Lucky Stars Jan 12, 2009, 5:12pm EST
Pretty, pretty, pretty!
I likethe poinsettia shot the best.
I would love to sit in there and just breathe the greeness.

That was fun. The colors are wonderful. I liked the train too.
Lance L. Jan 12, 2009, 9:30pm EST
That floral pathway behind the sitting area is very impressive! I am assuming there is a walk at the POV you shot it from or did you "tip toe through the tulips"? Alright no tulips. :~)
Marianne R. Jan 12, 2009, 9:39pm EST
I was upstairs on a balcony shooting that Lance.
Victoria H. Jan 12, 2009, 10:14pm EST

Just gorgeous---we were there in early March about 5 years ago and even though not a lot was blooming I was still very impressed with what was. Lovely photo essay ;-)
