A few more from the Botanical Gardens in D.C.

The U.S. Botanic Gardens.   What a wonderful place.  It fills your eyes with beauty, fills your nose with wonderful smells, fills your ears with sounds of the peace & softness of growing things, fills your sense of touch with things both soft & hard, smooth & rough.  You can even taste the moisture in the air.  Ahhhhhhh.  I could stay there all day.

The Museum of the American Indian  building is a beautiful piece of architecture!  Just a gorgeous building to photograph.  The museum itself is beautifully laid out and really fun to go through.  If you're adventurous, try eating lunch at the cafe which features Native American foods.  The food was very good!




A few more amazing sculptures from the National Mall.

This statue is entitled "Eros"  It's in the National Mall Statue Garden in D.C.  I fell in love with this statue.  Something about it just captured my eyes.

What would you wish for?

Just got back into town yesterday from a wonderful trip to Washington D.C.   I have fallen in love with this city!  One of my favorite exhibits was a "Wishing Tree" in the National Mall Sculpture garden.  People wrote down wishes and tied them to the tree.  It was fascinating to see what others had written.  What did I wish for?  You'll have to go there and find out ;)
