Bok Tower Gardens - Lake Wales, Florida

Some pictures from my trip to Bok Tower today and a tour through Pinewood Estate all decorated for Christmas.  I'm including just pictures of the tower today and the estate pictures will be posted later.  There are more pictures of Bok Tower on two previous posts on this blog and one of the gardens on Brian's Daily Ramblings & Artistic Endeavors.
