A Visit with the King!

Boyfriend and I went to visit the King yesterday. haha well at least his palace... well the palace gardens then, ok fine. Drottningholm is just gorgeous, and we had a lovely day exploring the gardens and taking photos in the sunny windy weather. We also enjoyed a yummy sunny picnic once we found a spot of grass not covered in Goose poo. There were geese just about everywhere!

geese...

sun and statues

horse drawn carriages, lovely

The Cascades

happy

really happy...

The Royal Palace! Where the King and Queen lives :)

I adore the long paths and labyrinth hedges

playing with shadows

sun soaked

me and my knobby knees, hehe

picnic time we enjoyed left overs from our saturday night Italian feast, yum

love

more love...

our picnic view of the goose poo filled grass

he's adorable

what's a palace with out gold?

I love gold...

The Swedish flag was flying at half mast in honor of all the lives lost (horrifically stolen) in the tragedies of last week in Oslo. usch...

Sunlight through trees may be one of the prettiest things there is.

gosh, more me.

Tree lined paths are nice too

and secret gardens may be in all girls' dreams

a secret hiding place among tall grass, leafy trees, and perfectly kept hedges.

I adore how statues glow in the sunlight

see...

ahhh, more tree lined paths, nice

and a wooden hut made to look like a fabric tent, how clever!

The mini China Palace... a gift to one of the past Queens

As the Petit Trianon is to Versailles The mini China Palace is to Drottningholm.

It's lovely

I'd much rather live here than in the huge main palace, don't you think?

I've never been inside, next time I visit I shall have to buy a tour

Even flower pots look royal

And then our day was done

Another perfect Sunday...

Happy Monday!
