Was finally able to make it out to Longwood Gardens for their holiday setup. They always do a fantastic job with the lights (most of which I didn't photograph) and some indoor setups.
The main fountains are a little drier this time of year but they still put on a nice show
		
		
	
	
		
	
	
	
		
	
They even replicate when they have a fire/water mix
		
	
	
	
		
	
The Conservatory is a most stop on any trip, if only for the 2014 Best Restrooms in America winner, as the theme is always a winner. The only issue with being there at night is that it is generally too dark to really photograph anything as most of the light is natural. They did have this lovely tree.

Many trees have lights, these would have been better with a video as the colors chased each other up the tree and rotated through several color combinations:
		
	
	
	
		
	
Park of the lake area
		
	
	
	
		
	
A phoenix raising from a tree
		
	
	
	
		
	
Some ornaments from various trees
		
	
	
	
		
	
		
	
	
	
		
	
Santa on a gator
		
	
	
	
		
	
I just found this one creepy
