Ringling Bros. Grand Entry




Yes, the title is a circus march and here we are at the Ringling estate in Sarasota, FL. This lavish estate was the home of John and Mable Ringling situated on the bay. Jeff is posing at a scenic pond and the last photo I am in front of a huge banyan tree near the home. The trees were a gift from Thomas Edison to the Ringlings. We loved visiting the miniatures display created by Howard Tibbals which take up an entire building and several hours to walk through and examine. It was quite cold, but that didn't diminish the beauty of the grounds and the thrill of learning about the circus in many informative exhibits. Posted by Picasa
