Back In The Garden

By now my garden is usually dried up and overgrown with weeds. Not so this year, the dahlias are still blooming. The Butterfly traffic is constant, especially after the Milkweed bloomed.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

A spur-of-the-moment trip to Washington DC that included a Tour Of The White House!!
No photos though, because no cameras allowed.
I did take a few 'tourist view' shots while we walked around town.
We even got to sit in on the Senate in session. This is a shot of "Freedom" from inside the Senate building.

The weather was wonderful and we stayed at the Hyatt Regency, a short walk from everything!

National Museum Of The American Indian

At last I got to visit this fascinating museum! The surrounding grounds have gardens and interesting statues and places to sit.






The building is a wonderful, sculptural space surrounded by a flowing pool and waterfalls.







Each floor is filled with amazing artifacts and exhibits that send the imagination spinning.
A child's dress with a doll and toy shield...

And a special unexpected treat: an exhibit of paintings by Fritz Scholder.
