more gray skies, although maybe it won’t rain.
mollie woke me up by standing on my head. ok, not RIGHT on my head, but very close. her breath smelled like cat food. not the most delightful way to wake up. i convinced her to move to one side and sleep for a little bit longer.
more of the botanical garden:
this is such a GIANT tree.
we finally made it outside the conservatory, but then went right into another conservatory next door.
FINALLY we were outside the convervatories, and here’s yet another of those great sculptures. i especially liked that they planted all those flowers in complementary colors around it.
one of the two lions, side by side. i really wish you could see the detail. i do have a closer shot. i wish you could see them in person, all the sculptures were just so beautiful.
they encouraged you to walk around the pieces, to touch them, and you could even go inside a few of them. or you cold just poke your head through.
this is a great shot of the inside of that skull.
we got over to the japanese garden and here’s where all that magnificent fall color was happening.
isn’t that something? that was just over a week ago; i wonder what it looks like now. i bet it’s pretty in the winter with the snow on it, but it wouldn’t be as fun to walk around. i have a few more photos but i can’t spend the WHOLE DAY sitting here on the couch, much as i’d like to.
ok then,
wednesday grace.
