The Old Westbury Gardens is so gorgeous that you could literally take hundreds of photos there... So I have to share some more beauty from there. Hope you have a chance to visit and experience the splendor and imagine that you are there in the "Gatsby" era. At that time, in the early 1900s, the Long Island North Shore where I live, was full of these amazing mansions (some were really more like castles), and their great gardens. The upkeep of some of the biggest houses required a vast number of people. One of the biggest estates was in Roslyn Harbor, called Harbor Hill, and I read somewhere that Harbor Hill employed about a hundred people just to work on the grounds. No wonder the Gold Coast vanished in the mid 1900s, it just got too expensive to keep these spectacular places.

Long Island is full of these geese! This little geese family is adorable.
But they're not so cute when you step in their droppings ;-) |
