Once again Dick, thank you for all the time you take to photograph and post these for us to see. It's really great that you show the information cards.

LOL, thanks "cuz". i really do appreciate all of your thanks and comments. Plus I take a great satisfaction is knowing that the efforts at the collection are being appreciated and noticed well beyond their immediate neighborhood. They work hard, as i know, to make these things happen and the more folks know about it, the better. There is no charge for visiting and they really do make the trip worthwhile. There is an open building with glass cases on the grounds that offers protection against the weather that has artisans work on display. currently there are woodworkers, and i just love one artist's carving of birds. Fabulous. The next show is from the local suiseki group and one of mine has actually been invited to participate. So a tip of the hat to the curator and staff for making all this ambitious activity come to fruition....
