Chinese Lantern Festival

While we didn't get to see all the displays lit up at night, they were all lovely to look at during the day.  I thought I would share some of the more spectacular pieces of art.

We always like the Shisha Lions from our time in Okinawa.  These were
gorgeously done.

The closeup allows you to see some of the intricate details.

And in brilliant red, a popular Chinese color.

These bridges were a them throughout the gardens of Magnolia Plantation.

Flights of butterfly fantasy on huge flowers.

Fairy tale creatures kept Miss Freya happy.

The entrance gate to the lantern displays.

These pandas looked so lifelike in their area.

These must have been quite lovely lit up at night.

Can't have gardens without ladybugs.
