Hit of the show

For me, the models of the train stations were the best part of the exhibit, but for many, at least the kids, the model trains running all around the hall were the big hit.

I really need to finish up this gallery since it was a Christmas kind of thing. Almost done!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

We went to the United States Botanic Garden’s Season’s Greenings exhibit titled “All Aboard,” which showcases historic train stations from around the country made almost entirely from plant materials.

The heron made it into The Washington Post! posted earlier:

I go for the trains and that splendidly suspended track; probably still a kid

cool comp...well done to establish the bridge as a dominant diagonal...certainly the trains would offer an ongoing series of changing images..

I suspect that I would have also been spending a lot of time watching the trains had I been there. I love trains! ;-)
