National Bell Festival at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens

I got my share of the National Bell Festival (DC wide ringing on New Year’s Day) at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. “Each sounding of the Bell of Peace and Harmony – a gift from the Korean-American Cultural Committee to the people of Virginia – reverberates for nearly 3 minutes.” I did not get to swing a large wooden log to make it ring, but walked around with hot chocolate and took photos. It is such a beautiful sunny first day of 2020!I visited the Gardens before in spring and falls, yet first time in winter, which brought back my wonderful memory of Seoul in March 2019.
