Happy New Years everyone!
Here’s some flowers growing at our local botanical garden, where I volunteer on most Monday mornings. December flowers! I still can’t believe how lucky I am to live in Tucson.
Every Christmas the gardens has a light show. Here I am at the end of October, helping get some lights in place.
And here are those lights during the show.
I also helped put together this tunnel of lights.
This crescent moon is a new exhibit, made specifically for selfies and family shots.
I’m sure some people will use this for their Christmas cards. But not John and I. We never look good in selfies, although we seem to be able to successfully take photos of each other individually. What’s with that?
This train exhibit is also new.
It includes miniature replicas of real places; famous old lodges and churches in the southwest. Unfortunately the photos didn’t turn out very well – it takes patience and good equipment to take great night shots. But hopefully you get the idea.
One of these days I’ll take pictures of this exhibit in the daylight. It’s really quite nice.
Here are some more photos from this year’s Tucson Botanical Garden’s “Lights Up” show.
This year Lights Up runs from November 29th – January 12th, so there’s still time to go see it if you’re in Tucson. And if you want to come see it next year, and don’t want to travel with the holiday crowds, just come visit me in early December or early January.
