Every Wednesday participants will be posting pictures of anything outdoor on their blog. It can be something outside of your home such as your porch, deck, patio, garden or lawn. Your photo can be outdoor shots of the beach, forest or mountains. (We don’t want to exclude anyone who might not have a yard). Or, you could simply post pictures of a favorite plant or flower. Only rule is it has to be outside!
To participate:
1. POST- Post your outdoor photos and the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on your blog and link back to A Southern Daydreamer (link) so that others will be able to find all the links to other Outdoor Wednesday posts.
2. (Optional) PLACE LOGO - Place the Outdoor Wednesday logo/button on the sidebar of your blog. It lets others know you will be participating in future Outdoor Wednesdays.
Reminder: Do NOT link in until after your post is up.
3. LINK NAME & PERMALINK- Go to A Southern Daydreamer and enter your name and the Permalink to your post (NOT your general blog address) in “Mr. Linky”.
- Why use a permalink instead of your general blog address? A permalink points to a specific blog post after it has passed from the front page to the archives. It will make it easier for readers to find your Outdoor Wednesday posts whenever they get a chance to visit.
- To create a Permalink: Either 1) right click on Outdoor Wednesday post and “Copy Shortcut/Link Location” or 2) click on your Outdoor Wednesday post title and copy the URL from the http window.
- Copy your permalink into “Mr. Linky” URL box next to your name and select ENTER. You are finished. You should see your name listed on my site.

Today I would like to share some pictures from a couple of gardens in my state of Georgia…….
Hills & Dales Estate (LaGrange, GA) is the historic family home of the Fuller E. Callaway family. The Georgian-Italian style residence was designed by Hentz & Reid in 1916, and the adjacent Ferrell Gardens, date to 1832
Callaway Gardens (Pine Mountain, GA) was created by Cason and Virginia Hand Callaway and is a secluded vacation resort with something for everyone, from places to sit back and enjoy nature to great ways to get out and get moving within the beautiful gardens.
For more information on the gardens select links below:

Oh I miss Georgia. I think I told you before that I used to live in Dunwoody. I hadn't heard of Callaway Gardens. How far from Dunwoody would that have been?

Maybe you could go by and say Hello if you have time.
Have a wonderful evening,

ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
Susan, thank you for sharing those breathtaking photos with us. My favorite is the natural-looking garden with the azaleas under the trees.

ReplyDeleteI love these garden photos. I'll have to get out some of my garden pics to post.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely breathtaking color. These gardens are lovely. I love to visit formal gardens and look at manicured lawns and planter beds full of flowers. It's amazing to see all the natural beauty and color created by God. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Susan thank you so much for hosting this Outdoor Wednesday. Your photos of Callaway Gardens is just beautiful. We've been there and it is incredible. I really enjoyed the Butterfly Center. I took a lot of photos there.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Chris
Do you know I've been wanting to go to Callaway Gardens for about 8 years now and haven't made it yet! I've only been to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens once! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteManuela
A beautiful garden I could get lost in and just daydream.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens and a beautiful house! I have never been to Callaway Gardens. Have always wanted to go. Have wanted to go to spend the weekend or a few days. Maybe one day... Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteCarolyn
What beautiful pics. I love the tulips. I need tulips!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love today's post of Callaway Gardens. I was born and raised in Columbus and we, too, called it "Ida Cason's." How funny is that. I love the beautiful chapel there.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Lana
Oh I love those azaleas! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSusan, those are some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. I love the tulips and azaleas. I'm craving spring!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how beautiful! My husband's brother and his family live in GA. I wonder if we showed up on their doorstep, if they would take us to one of these gardens.

ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteWhen I peeked late last night at your post, I was amazed at the beauties of the gardens. They are so beautiful and the gardener sure turned them into places of art. Loved the azaleas! They make me want to visit Georgia, other than the airport in Atlanta which we run through often!
Thanks for sharing these with us and hosting this event each week!
♥♥♥'s
The gardens are so lovely! I love Pine Mountain, I got to stay there every year for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. While we worked off the Airport. We had to go on top of the Mountain to get a phone signal. But it was worth it! For the Mountain is lovely as the Gardens, which are right beside the Airport. I love the shops in town. Last I was there I went everyday to to town get a frozen yogurt cone! I hate yogurt! But these frozen cone were great. I bought a lot of antique in this town! Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Susan!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed seeing the beautiful Stargazers.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteIt's just Gorgeous! State of Georgia is a Beautiful! I have visit ther several times....The photos are just Beautiful....I enjoy it ...Have a Wonderful Day...Katherinellen

ReplyDeleteSusan, thanks so much for hosting this most beautiful event. I have been wanting to go to Callaway Gardens ever since we moved to Ga. It's going to be on my list for sure this spring! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking!!!
ReplyDeleteWell shoot! I've been in & out of here all day & forgot to leave a comment. The gardens are absolutely beautiful.I love the hedge gardens!
ReplyDeleteThansk for hosting Susan...I think the posts for Outdoor Wednesday are some of the most interesting I've seen. Great meme!
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI have heard from a few blogger friends about your Wednesday party and I am thrilled today to finally join, I hope I'm not too late.
Autumn has come here in Australia and I have a few images showing my home town in Bowral.
The gardens in your home area are amazing.
Regards,
Coty
Hi Susan...I thought I'd already dropped by with a comment last might, but I guess it didn't take...oh well, I came back to say my hubby planted 28 Encore Azaleas last year when we bought this house...since there was one regular Azalea that makes 29...but, no way can they compare to the beautiful gardens...so, is that where the chain of Calloway Nurseries came from? You really started something with this fabulous topic! Love it, ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteFabulous gardens Susan! I was out of town this weekend and running a bit behind on my blogging! :D Jewel
ReplyDeleteThe husband & I have lived all over the world, but where we go to relax is Callaway Gardens! Christmas is wonderful as well with the lights! We never miss the bike ride around the lake or stopping at the cafe for "fresh from the garden" food. I'm so glad you included pictures, because everyone should experience this wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteOh, your pictures are so pretty, all the gorgeous Roses, and I must say my favorite Colors, I can only dream to have my Rose Garden as pretty, I enjoyed all of your blog.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
