This past month has been a busy one for us but....picking back up where I left off.
Easter April 2012
Our Church in Boston had a lovely service.
As usual, we served refreshments after Service
and had the fun addition of colored eggs to be festive!
Matt and I had a great weekend walking around trying out our new "Toe" shoes. :)
The flowers and trees during our first New England Spring were amazing!
The tree below is a Weeping Cherry Blossom tree and they were everywhere.
Boston across the Charles River from MIT campus.
There were so many pretty flowers and blossoming trees that I was always asking Matt to stop and let me take a picture.
Below is a close up of a small Weeping Cherry Blossom. Sooooo pretty!
We visited the Museum of Natural History on Harvard Campus to see
the exhibit of glass flowers.
Yes, each of these pictures are of GLASS flowers. They look so very real.
They did even in person.
There was also a Rock collection that was amazing!
This pink specimen is Kutnahorite from South Africa. Doesn't it look soft and fuzzy!?
This green specimen is Malachite Carbonate from Tsumeb, Namibia.
I think is looks like a skyscraper.
This white specimen is Cerussite Carbonate from Tsumeb, Namibia
I think this one looks like a fancy office building made of glass.
This is Crocoite from Tasmania, Australia.
This one is for my friend Jeanette! For her love of orange. :)
Am I an avid rock lover, you ask? Why, yes. Yes, I am! hahaha
I am also an avid bug lover. Sounds strange, I know, but it's the truth.
I had the most amazing collection of bugs pinned on a board as a kid.
At least I thought it was a amazing.
Pretty sure it was actually about 20 dead bugs,
disintegrating from around their pins, making my room smell funny.
But they were all labeled correctly! :-D
Below is what I thought my bug board looked like.
I didn't have quite that many....but I wished! hahaha
If I could go back in time, I'd go back a arrange my bugs in cool shapes and patterns!
I think the butterfly collection they had was the only thing
most people would consider pretty.
This also includes some moths but they are some pretty ones anyway.
It was a great weekend!
I'd like to give a special thanks to my Darling husband for spending three
(yes, 3!) hours in that museum letting take pictures to my hearts content.
If you'd like to see more glass flower, rock, and of course bug pictures, just let me know. I have over 300 of them! ;-)
