antique, bayard, grass, green, house, long island, mansion, nature, new york, trees, vintage

My husband used to work at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Long Island when we first met and since I have never been there, he gave me a tour so I could take photos. What a beautiful place. It was a clear day and the sky was a gorgeous blue, a perfect backdrop for the historic mansion that sits on the property.

As we walked around to the back, I turned toward the house and was kind of taken back by how lovely it looked buried among the trees. The lush green grass below and vibrant bushes placed around the exterior really set it off nicely. That’s when I knew this was “the” shot. And every time I look at this photo, I remember that day with Dan and what a nice time we had exploring the property. Never forgetting the feeling of capturing such a perfect view and sharing it with the world.

I love this photo most of all because it seems as if one has come to a special treasure hidden from society. The Bayard mansion appears stately and dignified, standing strong. With all its stories and memories, it’s gleaming with beauty. This is the kind of moment that is truly picturesque.

I took this photo in the second floor bathroom of the Bayard Arboretum in Long Island about 4 years ago. There was something about the peacefulness in the room I fell in love with. The light was really beautiful as well. The whole space brought me back in time to my Grandmother’s old apartment back in the day. It may not have looked like hers but the vintage feeling it gave truly made me smile.
