Niki and the Japanese Fest
i took Matt to the Botanical Garden for the annual Japanese Festival. We went nice and early to beat the crowds and the heat. So outside of the bonsai/ikebana exhibit, we missed most of the special things. But Lance just happened to be going by and stopped off to go through with us. In addition to the japanese stuff - mostly booths selling crap - there were a whole bunch of larger than life sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle. i last encountered her work as an angel flying over the Zurich train station last Christmas. Fun stuff. You can see all the pics here.
...sorry, Stef...no Sumo wrestlers...
