Last Friday my friend Barb and I took the day off from work and went to Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate. We took a special tour that spends a good chunk of the time outside, which also happens to be the only place you can take pictures...here are some of the highlights:
Can you imagine this as the view from the front of your house????
A neat detail from the front entrance.
I think this guy is terrific. Off behind him is the Hudson River.
Normally there's water in this fountain, but it's kinda neat without it...this is Orpheus, and he's hidden on the backside of the fountain away from the main view. He's a special little secret.
I love the way the light was hitting this statue.
One resident of a shade garden.
This guy caught my fancy!
See the Hudson River in the background? Ah, to live with so much beauty all around you!
And isn't he cute?
Hey, somebody reading this blog must know a Rockefeller or two who would like to let me hang out in these gardens sometime, right???
really cool pictures! I've gotta put that place on my to-see list.

No luck with the Rockefeller connection here, but I wanna go with you when you get in! :) Thanks for posting those gorgeous pictures. That's one of the things I've wanted to go see in NY for a while.
