It is a cloudy and cool day but we are with good friends, Dan and Barb Bloem, to visit the Botanical Gardens here in Phoenix. We love to come here and see what is new and what is familiar and what is blooming at this time of the year. At the entrance, there remains a glass sculpture by Dale Chihully whose creations found places throughout the gardens in 2010.
Scattered throughout the gardens this year are sculptures by Carolina Escobar entitled "Whispers of the New World" . I think each person will have their own interpretation of what they see.
But there were flowers, too.
One of the most interesting sculptures was of the Four Seasons by Philip Haas - depicted in flowers, gourds and seeds of each season.

It's always interesting to visit the Botanical Gardens - so we
bought a one year membership - it will pay for itself on our
third visit and is good for 250 other Botanical Gardens across
the US and Canada - including the Royal Botanical Gardens
in Hamilton, Ontario - right near home!
