Rittenhouse Square: Philly's Urban Oasis

Rittenhouse Square, a gem in Philadelphia's heart, invites visitors to embrace its urban charm, and an unexpected giant frog. This whimsical stone carving, known as "Frog," is the work of Cornelia Van Auken Chapin, a celebrated 20th-century sculptor known for her animal-themed creations. Unveiled in 1941, it has since become a beloved feature of the park, greeting visitors with its frozen joy. The day further unfurled with a spontaneous open-air concert, courtesy of a busker strumming heartwarming melodies that wove magic into the cool winter air. The park resonated with his tunes, embracing music as a vital part of its vibrant aura. In a delightful spectacle, squirrels enjoyed a feast at a picnic table, a thoughtful arrangement by an anonymous benefactor. Their joyous dining added a dash of warmth to the crisp day, personifying the park's endearing spirit. With its historical art, enchanting music, and unexpected wildlife encounters, Rittenhouse Square stands as a testament to Philadelphia's vibrant urban life. #shopandtrip #myperfectstaycation #flowerlover #foodie #本地遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #rittenhousesquare #philly #urbanoasis #citylife #artinthepark #busking #squirrelpicnic #winterinphilly #parklife #urbanwildlife #cityparks #publicart #musicinthepark #citytour #foottour #outdoorconcert #unexpecteddelights #urbansanctuary #sculpturepark

Longwood Gardens

A piece of Heaven on heart: Longwood Gardens - Brandywine. The part of the trip that I most awaited in the United States was that concerning the Philadelphia countryside. I am fascinated by small towns where life flows more slowly and you can breathe a super authentic air. Brandywine, about an hour from Philadelphia, is a green velvet coat, among which stand out houses with white fences and rows of vineyards. Nestled in this little paradise are Longwood Gardens. I had fun circling the thousands of flowers from every corner of the world while breathing the magic of a weekend on the other side of the planet. And do you prefer big cities or small towns? #usa #awesomepic #brandywine #spring #logwoodgardens
