Entrance to Dia

A while back I took the train up to Beacon (see Passing Bannerman’s Island), NY about 30 miles north along the River Hudson from where I live. My primary purpose was to visit Dia, a short walk from the station. More to follow on some of the individual exhibits/installations. Above: The main entrance

A wild and crazy garden

15 minute walk

This garden is about a 15 minute walk from my house. I’ve often walked past it while walking the dog, but had previously not taken any pictures. I think it’s wonderful. No messing around with lawns for the people who own this house – just masses and masses of flowers. Of course I couldn’t go onto private property, but by looking up the driveway I could see the the rear of the house was pretty much the same.
