Balboa Park Extras
Balboa Park architecture is so gorgeous! I love the Spanish mission/gothic style.
Margie, our docent, tells us about this portrait of Queen Henrietta of England.
Is this work a painting or a sculpture? From a distance, it looks like a recessed sculpture, and only as we came within five feet of it did we see that it was indeed a painting. It was so amazingly like a three-dimensional work, though -- the kids and I were rather boggled by it.
T enjoyed the girl scout cookies we packed in our lunch today. Cookies in our lunch is a rarity, especially those delectable Thin Mints! He couldn't resist clowning around with them on his birthday....
At the zoo we took a look at this gharial sunning himself in his beautiful enclosure.
