Exploring

One of my favorite things to experience while I was in Southern California for engagements was The Getty Museum.   I highly recommend it to anyone!  We took a beautiful drive along the coast to get to Malibu.  The architecture and contents inside were absolutely breathtaking.  Exhibits at the Getty are always rotating.  The exhibit I saw was Aphrodite and the Gods of Love.  The exhibit was full of beautiful hand carved statues, frescoes, pottery and mosaics from the same era.  It is amazing to see what people did out of stone!  This fueled my desire to take a pottery class.PINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEI stopped to watch this little boy sketch one of the nearby statues.  He was ‘modernizing’ the statue because he felt it needed a hat.  I loved listening to his story of how he became interested in art.  His dream is to visit The Louvre, in Paris. (mine too!) He told me when he went he’d take me with him 🙂PINIMAGEProof that Leonard Nemoy, a.k.a. Spock, a.k.a. William Bell, has been around f-o-r-e-v-e-r!PINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGEPINIMAGE
