[vimeo http://vimeo.com/39823775 w=515&h=290] I apologize for so many photos, it is impossible to take a few shots when you are at Biltmore. I will miss visiting this place in the summer, but hope to spend more time camping with my family. Lee will miss their Margarita Pizza the most. I'm sure she will miss their gift… Continue reading Biltmore April 1, 2012

More Tulips at Biltmore
More Tulips photos continued from Tulips at Biltmore. This is the entrance to Biltmore and when we got there I was so happy to see that the tulips were in bloom. Near the entrance is a gift shop. This is one of the gift shops that Lee has not shopped in. This image overlooked the… Continue reading More Tulips at Biltmore
Tulips at Biltmore
Click here to watch this video on YouTube The Festival of Flowers at Biltmore starts April 7th, and due to the unseasonably warm weather I didn't think we should wait if we wanted to see the tulips in bloom. Our season pass is also expiring this month and we are not renewing it this year. … Continue reading Tulips at Biltmore
Biltmore Christmas Lights 2011
We visited Biltmore on Sunday to see the Christmas lights. The decoration in the front lawn is not as nice as last year, but inside the house is as pretty as ever. It's too bad that we can't take picture of the inside. We got there around 3:30pm (15:30) and had plenty of time to… Continue reading Biltmore Christmas Lights 2011
A Road Trip to Biltmore
We headed up the mountain to visit Biltmore on Sunday. This was our first time this year since we missed the Festival of Flowers several weeks back. And by the way, that's not Bo's Land Rover SUV, but a Biltmore Land Rover Experience driving school that perhaps Bo would like to become a student for… Continue reading A Road Trip to Biltmore
Flowers at Biltmore
I was hoping to see the lotus in bloom and it might be towards the end of the month, although I'm glad there were some water lilies in bloom. We got there around 9:15 am and the sun was high by then. We definitely have to get there earlier next time. I used my telephoto… Continue reading Flowers at Biltmore
Less Than Perfect
I took these pictures at Biltmore, it's obvious that they are less than perfect but I really liked them. I don't normally delete my images until I get home, believe it or not I took this blurry image on purpose. You can still tell that it's a couple walking their dogs. This image happened so… Continue reading Less Than Perfect
Fourth Year Anniversary and Many Thanks
It didn't seem that long and this post has made the 1090 posts, and 4 years of blogging. I want to thank you for your visit, especially to all the commenter and silent readers. In a way we are very much like the pilgrims but came way later so Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing… Continue reading Fourth Year Anniversary and Many Thanks
Biltmore Christmas Lights 2010
My first attempt in time-lapse photography and it didn't go as smooth as I had hoped. I had a lot of distraction at the beginning and this was my first time shooting in Manual Mode. Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will… Continue reading Biltmore Christmas Lights 2010
Beaver Moon
A change of scenery this month, the Beaver Moon was taken in Ashville, North Carolina and I was surprised to read that it is also considered a blue moon. The November full moon counts as a "seasonal" blue moon because it's the third of four full moons to fall in between the September equinox and… Continue reading Beaver Moon
Water Lilies at Biltmore August 21, 2010
It was an overcast day on Saturday, and this might be a good thing to photograph water lilies. They are as pretty as ever, here are the photos. This was taken with a Canon T2i, Aperture Priority, f/20, 1/10sec, ISO-100, Exposure bias 0, focal length 80mm, pattern metering mode, white balance cloudy, closeup cropped Aperture… Continue reading Water Lilies at Biltmore August 21, 2010
Travel Photography: Flower Carpet at Biltmore
We are season passholders at Biltmore and visit the estate several times a year. This time I was hoping to tour the town of Asheville, North Carolina as a contribution to Scott Thomas Photography’s photo essay: Travel Photography, but due to the rain we had to cut our trip short and only get to visit… Continue reading Travel Photography: Flower Carpet at Biltmore
