Myriad gardens with Alice
The Oklahoma weathermen were hyping up a big winter storm was heading our way this week, so Alice, Chris and I decided it would be wise to stay indoors for this month's photo outing. Chris caught a nasty cold and ended up not making it, so Alice and I went to the Crystal Bridge Conservatory in downtown Oklahoma City. This is a fun place for me to play with my macro lens and we were both amazed that we spent an hour and a half there!
Here is a slideshow of my favorites.
We had a nice lunch at a favorite lunch spot of mine, Prairie Thunder Baking Company.Oh, and in the end we really didn't get much more than half an inch of snow! Phew!!!

These are all so beautiful Gill!
Glad you didn't end up with too much snow.
You are amazed that you spent an hour and half there? I am amazed that you ONLY spent an hour and half there. And please tell me about this Praire Thunder Baking co. Where is it? Sounds yummy. Okay I just looked it up, have you had one of their cream puffs ever?
And the pics are absolutely gorgeous Gill!

I've not had their cream puff (yet) but I've had a lemon square and a florentine cookie. Those were both excellent. I love their tortilla soup and they make huge sammies.
Brilliant, i like the firn and the last shot of the leaf
What stunning photos, honey! Beautiful! You have inspired me to go the Botanical gardens here next week with the girls! Hope you and the family are well!
yes, weren't our weathermen a joke with all the warnings previous to our winter storm. i am really glad we got very little snow. but i am tired of the up and down temps. i am ready for Spring to stick.
i just drove by the Prairie Thunder Baking Company last night on my way from seeing a movie at the museum of art. i've never eaten there. the menu looks great. i'll have to give it a try. thanks for sharing.
