Philbrook Gardens

Back in August, my little sister and I headed to Philbrook Museum of Art to catch the Egyptian Exhibit before it ends on September 12th. We saw some pretty amazing artifacts, and I felt very honored to be in the same room with so many ancient relics. While photography is not allowed in the museum, guests are welcome to take pictures in the famous Philbrook Gardens. The landscaping is gorgeous, professional, and very impressive to anyone with a love for plants. Here are some of the images I brought home with me on that lovely summer day. ♥

Where do you go to get your cultural fix?

If the exhibition was half as gorgeous and spectacular as the gardens are, it must have been fantastic! I love everything Egyptian!

And really great shots there!

I love going to museums, but I have to say I don't get to as often as I'd like!

My cultural fix usually comes in the form of either trips to awesome places (if I'm really lucky) or books!; September 05, 2010

It is the quiet mood that speaks to me, as I have walked the muddy trails and inhaled the cold air and suddenly felt mountains looming bigger and closer through barren branches. The rolling fogs and mists are ephemeral, yet the winter memory is long-lasting...; September 06, 2010
