This picture was made last May at the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina. Asheville was in full spring bloom while it was still winter in the higher elevations. I got a kick out of seeing the weather changes as we traveled through the mountains but the lush flowers of the Biltmore gardens were positively thrilling.

There were a lot of people out that day so I was excited to frame a quiet view of the formal gardens through this window.

I suppose it’s true that the little things do make us happy.
