Welcome to "What I did with my summer vacation."

Beth and I cat-sat for her aunt. I was there for a week, Beth for two. We had a blast, saw some old friends and visited Beth's grandmother.

The new sculpture garden at the National Gallery is really great, and of course, the Hirshhorn sculpture garden is one of our favorite spots anywhere.

Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden
Amazing!	Very proper.	What else is there to say?
Paul even made a new friend.
National Gallery Sculpture Garden
Great minds think alike.

We spent one afternoon with the Blake prints from the Rosenwald Collection in the Print Collection at the East Building of the National Gallery. We also spent some time with the Matisse cutouts.

Matisse's "Negresse": This cutout covers an entire wall!

Blake's "Joseph of Arimathea Preaching to the Ancient Britons" In contrast, this print is only a few square inches.

Another highlight was our quick morning trip to the zoo, where we saw the baby panda sleeping in a tree, and we saw the hippo getting a mid morning snack, as well as some very cool birds.

Sweet dreams.

Open wide.
