I had the pleasure of spending a day at Biltmore Estate this last week with two of my friends………. The beauty……. The grandeur………. The glory of the LORD………
I have many pictures to share. I am not ashamed of all the lamp lights I photographed. I am drawn to them. I am drawn to HIM!
I won’t comment on every picture; but I did hear the LORD speak to me through what I saw a couple times, so I will share that and of course, I’ll comment on the lamp lights!
The lamplight is beautiful. I am under The Lamp Light.
And this is my dear friend, and mentor, Vicky. I’ve shared about her before. She is an amazing woman of God. And, she is a lot of fun, too! And has great hair.
We had lunch at the stable:
Stephanie bought this fabulous dessert sampler and shared with us! Beautiful and delicious!
This was our table at the stable.
Then we headed into the house, and it was glorious! The Entrance Hall:
The glass roof in the Winter Garden:
The Billiard Room:
The Banquet Hall:
The Breakfast Room:
They were hosting a display of wedding gowns in films, so we saw many romantic gowns. This one is from Sense and Sensibility:

John Singer Sargent is one of my favorite artists. He did both these portraits:

This picture does not do this lamp light justice…

I was drawn to the desks as well. Such beauty.

Are you keeping score?

The most colorful begonia:
HIS light is breaking through!
I loved the look of this place setting:
Natural beauty:
Tulips, shadows, brick
HIS splendor was evident, thick.
YOU, LORD are my strong tower!
I’m looking forward to going again soon! Have you been to the Biltmore? What was your favorite?
