Light: Installations by Bruce Munro

Last Thursday we went to Longwood Gardens for a members only preview of Light: Installations by Bruce Munro.  We were all really looking forward to it.  We've seen people setting up for it the last few times we were there.

In anticipation, Isabella wanted to paint her nails.  Lily also wanted her toe nails painted.  She was so thrilled.  When Daddy got home, Lily screeched and pointed to her toes.  What a little cutie!

It wasn't quite dark when we arrived.  We walked around a while and discovered some very cool things.

Daddy spotted a lot of bullfrog tadpoles in this water.  We quickly found out why.  He and Isabella counted 15 bullfrogs under and around the tall grass and water plants.  They both thought that was very cool. 

Raymond took this picture of Lily.

Raymond walked around for a while but once it got dark he had a really hard time walking.  I'll explain.  Several things affect the body's equilibrium.  Joints, ear's, vision, and temperature are a few examples.  Those examples are all things that specifically play a factor into Raymond's balance.  Raymond has hearing loss, "floppy" joints and is very sensitive to heat.  He relies heavily on his vision for his balance.  Once it got dark, and Raymond was unable to see as well, his main source for balance was thrown off.

I'm posting this picture because it cracks me up.  NOT at all flattering of either of us...but funny. 

Glowing rain drops

These displays kept changing colors.

The lily exhibit is open Grandma!

Isabella really likes the carnivorous plants.  She and Daddy enjoy looking at them together.

I'm glad Lily didn't notice these banana's in the conservatory.  She would have wanted one!

Raymond was so exhausted by the end of the night.

I wasn't really able to play around with my camera settings while we were at Longwood Gardens to try and get better pictures of the displays.  I don't have a fancy camera by any means, but it does have a lot of different settings, most of which I've never used.  Here are two pictures I took from the Longwood Gardens website to show you the lite displays a little better.

We had a great time and hope to get back again before the exhibit is over.

On a side note, the weather has been pretty nice for a while now.  Sadie has been terribly anti-social because all she wants to do is sunbath out back and patrol the yard.

In my next life, I want to come back as a dog!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
