Desert Botanical Garden, Part 5 |
A surprise — pumpkin people leading a hay horse! I learned later that this was all part of a new Fall Festival being celebrated at the garden. From their website, "Strange Garden will also include pumpkin carvings from Ray Villafane, nationally recognized pumpkin sculptor whose work has been included on Food Network, at the White House and at events and festivals nationally." |

Who knew that Shakespeare did pumpkin plays? |

[Photographer's note: I am still learning how to use my new camera and I screwed up badly. With my faulty instruction, the camera focused on the grass in front of the real subject. But I had to include William Tell Pumpkin's son to complement the previous photo. Live and learn.] |

And outside is the Desert Towers glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly which is now on permanent display. I have shared an image of this sculpture in the past and I hope you don't grow tired of it — I sure enjoy it. |
Life is good. |
Aloha, B. David |
