Majestic Architecture of Department of Commerce

Some beautiful architecture at the Department of Commerce.

The Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB).

They don’t make them like they used to. 😉

Simple and Beautiful

Thought this was a nice touch on the table.

Just a simple drinking glass with a little water on the bottom and these three beautiful flowers inside.

Pink, Yellow, Orange.

So simple, yet so beautiful.

Maybe that’s the point. 😉

This is the most amazing sculpture that I have ever seen.

Let me explain why?

It looks like a bust of a woman with a fine fabric lace veil over hear head and face.

But believe it or not, the veil is part of the sculpture.

And her eyes are just shadows of it.

In other words, there is no veil or eyes.

The museum tour guide pulled out a flashlight and pointed it and her eyes and they were gone.

How any artist can have such a divine gift to make something like this is really beyond me.

All I can do is stare in complete marvel at this sculpture of a veil covering this woman’s face. 😉

BIrd

I took this photo in Lake Needwood yesterday.

A most beautiful crane.

Such a long neck, skinny legs, smooth feathers, and a yellow beak.

When it took flight, it was so amazing.

It’s wingspan was huge.

And it soared and glided through the trees and into the sky.

I wish I could have caught it all on video.

So free, elegant, and graceful.

There was something almost heavenly about it.

Imprinted it on my memory–loved it. 😉
