Preening




This graceful piece of sculpture stands at the end of a reflecting pool full of water lilies at the Birmingham Botantical Gardens.  Since we had balmy weather this past Saturday, (along with thunderstorms later)  I thought this glorious shot of the gardens was in order.   Chillier weather has returned but it's still sunny and most welcome!

That's pretty cool. I couldn't tell if it was a European or Asian style. And stop panicking. Your comments are back up (as opposed to someone else we could mention who thinks he's been posting some pretty damn good work).
