and it’s gray and raining and there’s absolutely no reason to step foot outside.

instead, here are some more photos of when it was sunny and warm and beautiful.  i realize all of these photos are all inside the fabulous climatron conservatory place; there are some amazing fall colors later, but i’d like to be sitting in that climatron right now.  this first one is more of the st. phalle sculpture.

this was an interesting plant.  we didn’t know what it was, and for some reason there was no sign identifying it.  maybe there was one and we just missed it, because they id’d other plants like ferns where were OF COURSE ferns.

this is by the artist Chihuly, and boy it was rough trying to look up his name online without even beginning to have an idea of how to spell it.  i kept getting directed to various words in other languages.  he’s the same guy who did the beautiful glass flowers on the ceiling of the Bellagio hotel in las vegas.

that’s all for now.  more and more and more later.

ok then,

grace trying to enjoy life.
