Today's stroll ...

...gave new discovery of the next phase of flowers.  After a lovely gift of some rain today, I'm anticipating some fresh blossoms tomorrow.  Gardens just keep on giving!

More tomorrow ..... I love the anticipation.

Anchoring ....

All photos are from Morris Arboretum, Philadelphia, PA

I love how stone, is such an anchor in gardens.  Should I ever become wealthy, I am going to buy a front end loader, piles of stone and then, watch out!

                             I dream of stone .... and, lots of it! Oh wait, I think I need a cement truck too! 
                                                                   I have so many dreams!

Two of my favorite ....

 I know these are statues; but, can't you just feel the life that the sculptor has breathed into them?

                                                    I love both of these photos.

And so she dances!

Is it a waltz?

Ballet?

Jitterbug?

Or, her own unique combination of moves - far to complicated to duplicate.

                                                               Happy 4th of July!

What a combo!

I love statues!  And, I love painting! Put that combination together and it's really intriguing to me!

Again, these statues are outside a hotel in Buffalo, NY.  In fact, they are right under the statues in yesterday's blog.  I hope you enjoyed them! They are whimsical!

Such an intersting exhibit .....

It's moving ..... emotionally moving. This statue of NYC workers in 1932 does tell a story. The life size men, look so real.

 

As you look at the line of workers, sitting on top of the picture of NYC, you realize that its been humans that built that majestic city.  A sign of the strength of the American people.

Yes, all together, this statue at a hotel in Buffalo,  NY is worth the time to explore its details. It's so very ... cool!

A "Happen Upon" ....

This past week, my husband and I had an overnight stay in Buffalo, NY. After checking out of the hotel, we noticed a beautiful memorial park outside the hotel, so we decided to wander through it. Sometimes things happen for in strange ways ..........

We didn't know this memorial was there. It's dedicated to the victums of the flight that went down in Clarence, NY,  ..... the flight came down on my husband's cousins house.  Her husband, who was standing in their dining room, was killed on the plane's impact. My husband's cousin and one of the daughters, made it out alive.  Other children were not home. 

To Doug and the 49 passengers on that plane .... there are many people left behind that miss you.
