roses, puppets & cacti

oh did i have quite a busy saturday!  started gloomy and early with the bf's graduation from csula!  so happy he has finished!  it started raining during the graduation so we went home to take pictures and all that.

after the graduation the bf had to go to band practice so my mom and i went over the the huntington in pasadena to see the john frame exhibit and walk around the beautiful gardens.

after walking through the rose garden, herb garden we made our way to the john frame exhibit, three fragments of a lost tale.  the exhibit shows the puppet like sculptures and short film john frame made using the sculptures.  it was an incredibily interesting and the sculptures were so detailed for the small size.  i was eavesdropping a bit and heard one woman say it was not quite her taste, however i found it extremely interesting.  the tiny pieces that frame creates to form the sculptures are incredible and no detail is spared, even the fingers are moveable.  i would have loved to touch the pieces and see how each one moves.  photography wasn't allowed inside the gallery so i couldn't take any pictures.

we left the gallery and the sun had finally come out!  before we left we went to check out the desert garden, which i have to say is my favorite garden.  the colors and shapes are beautiful.
