DC and a cute boy

The Natural History Museum had the Windland Smith Rice International Awards Exposition of  Nature’s Best Photography.  The photos, taken primarily by professionals, were enlarged and printed on Epson’s best paper.  This made fur and feathers seem as if you could feel them.  Jerry was in awe.

We stopped by to see the orchid exhibit as a follow-up to our tour of the Botanical Gardens.


 

Then we went to our favorite DC museum, the Renwick.  It is located in an old three-story home.  Much of its appeal is the size, big enough to have an outstanding collection of  American arts and crafts and small enough to not overwhelm and exhaust visitors.  These pieces captured our interest on this trip

But the best “art” of all are our pictures reminding us of the wonderful time we had with Bennett.
