Trip to Legion of Honor to see "The Cult of Beauty" show

The Redwoods's bus took a group of us 
over the bridge to see a current exhibit.
My plan was to go out side and do a page
but it was very windy and cold.
I ended up doing this simple table
set up that was right in front of 
me at lunch time.


I love seeing fresh flowers in the ladies' room.
My mother often had a bunch of
daisies in a Dundee Marmalade crock
that sat on the back of the toilet.


Of course these Monet Waterlilies
are much more captivating.
It is always a thrill to be so 
up close and personal with a famous
painting like this one.


We just finished a study of the images
of God in our Wednesday class.
This ancient limestone sculpture from 1465
is titled, "The Holy Trinity".
I was very moved by the amazing 
artistry from so long ago.


After lunch, I took a short and breezy walk 
around the grounds. The Golden Gate Bridge
is so beautiful on a clear windy day.
This photo does not do it justice.
