Wave Hill Slide Show

You have only to click here to visit one of the most beautiful gardens in the world - Wave Hill, overlooking the Hudson. You’ll see springtime, a large cactus, and my favorite - the iconic riverside pergola garden and the river below, all covered in snow. That one’s a total wow. So kudos for a stunning website. Now just give us more, cuz three just whets the appetite.
My friend Kathy and I were chatting today about Wave Hill, which I once visited while driving around by myself touring gardens. Oh what a splendid trip it was. And what an adventure it was finding my way to Wave Hill via the NYC freeway system, which I followed through a variety of multilingual encounters before finally arriving in this little Eden. Residents of its mansion have included FDR, Mark Twain and Toscanini, so even its history is attention-getting. And the best part is that now it’s a multi-faceted cultural center owned by the people of New York City.

What a great site. Love the way you can see the same gardens in different months of the year.
As a repayment, here is a wonderful Japanese garden site, complete with appropriate music. You need a fast connection to download though, but worth it:
