Wordless Wednesday…Sonnenberg
This past Sunday, my son and I ventured out to Canandaigua, New York, to visit Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion, a goregeous Victorian Estate. (many pictures and a “tour” in my Arts in the Gardens entry, two posts ago)
I took well over 200 photos and would have done many more if I had been alone. I have two photos that are my favorites, so I submit them as my Wordless Wednesday offerings.
And you thought *your* camera was bulky?

glad you had a great trip!! Those are awesome shots!!
Great photos. Sometimes it feels like my Digital SLR is a heavy thing to cary around! Happy WW
What a huge camera- and imagine taking 200 photos using that thing!
Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Cool camera. My dad used to have a giant old camera.
Very neat photos!
Whoa! I love the camera! By comparing it with the mini digital cameras we have today, the technology has really done something to change our lives (= Good one. Happy WW!
Great shots! I am the same way; always taking too many photos and I never know which one to pick for WW entry… LOL
Happy WW!
I especially like the one of the camera. Relic of a bygone age etc!
And I did think mine was bulky. That would never fit in a jacket pocket!
Those old cameras really do look bulky. Wow. I love the bee in the flower too. Just getting a little drink. Have a great WW.
Two very different photos, but both are wonderful! I love the colors in the flower one…
Happy WW!
With all those pics you must have had a great time. I loved both pics but especially the Bumble Bee one. Have you used photo slider to show more pics? Happy WW x x x
Just think the film in those cameras were in many cases glass plates, that adds more to the BULK. Nice shots. happy ww
cool! camera. good timing on the busy bee shot
Yup, that is a bulky camera, not to mention the glass plates.
Lovely rose.
what a great old camera! and beautiful rose
happy ww
How is life in Bristolwood this week? It was nice you could get out to the gardens. From the look of your blog you travel quite a bit.
Happy WW!

Oh, I’m torn between the two, but I think I like the camera best!
Those are great pictures, especially the camera =)
What a cool old camera!
Love that photo with the bee. Nice catch.
I just love the camera shot.
Happy WW
200 photos! Wow! There must be lotsa interesting things to see. The old camera is so bulky, it would be a chore carrying it around. Happy WW!
I just read your blogger bio. I like Caedmon’s Call, too!
Love the bee and I can’t image taking that camera on any trip!
Happy WW!

I love visiting places like this. Oh my, that looks a lot like my camera but mine might be an older model. Just kidding.
