Mabel Ringling: a woman

she loved birds, she loved her doggie and she loved gardening..

it is so fit, that her husband would take this photo of her in her garden

Mabel Ringling died in 1926 just before the stock market crashed ..so he lost his wife , and then all of his money..

The Ca D’Zan

The sixth of the seven Ringling brothers of Baraboo, Wisconsin, John Ringling was one of the founders of the famous circus. He and his wife vacationed in Sarasota in the early 1900’s and purchased their bayfront property in 1912. , Ca d’Zan, now stands. Combining their love for Sarasota with their love of baroque art, they decided to build a museum on the estate grounds and fill it with the finest paintings and objects that they could ever buy. When John Ringling died, he left to the State of Florida over 600 paintings, including the world’s largest private collection of works by Peter Rubens, and lots of other objects – prints, drawings, sculptures, antiques, pottery, jewelry, and furniture.

Today, visitors from around the world visit this wonderful complex looking over Sarasota Bay. The Art Museum, Ca d’Zan, the Ringling Mansion and the Museum of the Circus are all open to the public for a single admission. The beautifully landscaped grounds contain over 400 kinds of Florida trees, plants and flowers, garden figures and Mable’s historic rose garden. The Banyan Cafe is open for lunch or a snack. Visitors can browse through three gift shops located on the grounds.

    the amazing thing is this shot I took straight at a photo he has still in his bedroom… whcich people get to see at the mansion…. and the light of the sun was hitting it and reflected all over…. giving this photo of her photo a much more mysterious quality …. I love this shot so much ..

    yes, I always try so hard to include so much info…. most people appreciate it:).. and this place is one of my favorite places in Florida that I have ever gone to .. second after that probably is the Marie Selby botanical gardens….
