can we talk......

well....let me tell y'all something

today Wendy, Judy and I took a LIMO....yes, a LIMO, from the Santa Cruz area to San Francisco...ohlala...such luxury..and...a fancy schmancy limo at that

first we went to The California Academy of Sciences

which was the coolest place ever....oh yes...ever ! who knew...

who knew it was gonna be this exceptional...all those great exhibits. I'm a sucker for dinosaurs...anytime...any place. Show me a dino...I'm there !

and the fish, the birds, the butterflies

and the undersea coral & plant life...this snap turned out to be one of my favorites.... looks like a watercolor painting

and check these out...mind you...1/2 of the photos I shot today were behind display glass or in the water....not me in the water...the fish & plant life....making it not all that easy to get a good closeup....but I did it !!!

I was on such as camera high ! Since there are so many more I've done another MobileMe slideshow if you want to see more.

*************

Then the limo took us a few blocks over to the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

We were not free to take many pictures there but one of the exhibits simply took our breath away.

These are but 4 samples of the 600 altered pages done by various people, some who have no art background what-so-ever, for a project by Linda Ellia called Notre Combat. This overwhelming project absolutely brought tears to your eyes. I bought the book highlighting all 600 pages.

Here are some other highlights from our day

 

crazy fun in the limo

passing the pretty California coastline

It'll be Wendys birthday tomorrow so....hence...the roses and the balloons and the craziness....

 

and as for me....well...always contemplating my next purchase...!!
