Ken learned from Linda Williams that Powell Gardens was having a grand opening for their new butterfly garden today and she was going to be there with her moths. So we thought it would be a good day to go.
We also were able to take a pic of this swallowtail, always a fun photo. This one seemed to really enjoy this awful smelling bush and lighted long enough for photos.
Powell Garden is hosting the Chapungu sculpture exhibit. There are 54 beautiful stone sculptures thru out the gardens, they are done by Shona people of Zimbabwe. We happened to see some of these 6 years ago at Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, AZ and we enjoyed them then.
It's a beautiful setting to enjoy the art. My favorite part of Powell is their Island Garden with living rock walls. We also enjoyed lunch at the cafe, which is always good, I love their sweet potatoe fries. (I took 115 photos today, some of which may become watercolor paintings.)
Our ancestors knew and respected all of nature. From the smallest insect to the mighty Nzou (elephant). From the grasses to the massive Mukuyu (baobab). They lived in harmony.
