Bellingrath Gardens and Home: located just west of Dauphin Island on the mainland and just east of Bayou Le Batre. Which is next to nowhere.... Seems an original Coke bottler in Mobile bought an old fish camp in the Batre and built himself one large country home and planted azaleas like they were going out of style. The great lawn reminded us all of "The Masters" in April.
We had the delightful company of Mike and Claire Bellamy from London, Ont. They are friends of our other friends from London, that we met last year here in Camp Dauphin. If you are following, we know have 4 friends from London, Ont. :)
We spent an afternoon walking the gardens. Beautiful plantings and an exceptional Asian garden.
Enjoy some pictures of our "day trip".
