Grounds for Sculpture, Trenton, NJ

Well, the sun finally came out here on the east coast. So, my girlfriends and I decided to visit the Grounds for Sculpture in Trenton, NJ. It was so beautiful out today and I wanted to play with my new camera.

Here is the entrance, imagine what if would be like in bloom:
