A Christmas Carol Walk

On Friday I joined Wendy at Dow Gardens, in Midland MI for their annual Christmas Carol Walk.  Numerous choirs and other groups are located throughout the gardens, performing holiday music.  The paths are lit with luminaires, trees, buildings and bridges are lit up, and it is a beautiful setting.  Wendy was with the Delta Flute Choir, in the Conservatory, performing.  Here are just a few shots from that evening.

Performing before the flute choir was an interesting group, calling themselves “Just Trombones”.  Self explanatory.

Next up was the Delta Flute Choir.  They performed for about 45 minutes, and they were wonderful.  The music sounded great in the greenhouse, and the people walking through really seemed to enjoy them.

The Conservatory was beautifully decorated with poinsettias and other colorful flowers, as well as other decorations.  The highlights were the nutcrackers and the poinsettia tree.
