Mother's Day flora out in full force at Lakewold Gardens

We spent an exquisitely gorgeous Mother's Day at Lakewold Gardens in Lakewood, WA.  In between Tacoma and Olympia, this private estate turned semi-public garden bordering on Gravelly Lake takes you away to another place and time.  Yes, you have the manicured parts of the of the garden near the mansion, but meander a bit further along the trails and find yourself lost in an almost perfect wonderland of a forest.
