On my recent trip to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida, I visited Mable Ringling’s Rose Garden. It is laid out in a an Italian style, with columns and statues mixed in with the roses and palm trees.

The statues are rather old and have an interesting mix of lichen discoloring the stone.

The walkways were crushed shells, which seemed very appropriate for the Florida coast.

I loved this mosaic on the walkway from the garden to the mansion.

This is my contribution to @kalemandra’s Color Challenge Thursday Green. I took these shots with my Sony A7ii.
