Miniature S.F. 2010

We had a lovely trip to the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco on New Years Eve. On special display (until April) is a miniature version of the famous sites of the city made from recycled stuff- so much fun! A train circles with a bonsai rock garden landscape. There is a game of “what can you find in the scene” for the children and also a child’s fantasy train with some inventive characters.
It was great to escape the cold day and see this display as well as the rooms of orchids, giant ferns and lotus’. I had a little trouble with my camera lens fogging up but enjoyed being in the sauna atmosphere!
Catch it if you can- it really cheered up our New Year!
