that same ole' sky


Two different views of the same sky from inside the botanical gardens I visited in St. Paul last week. On the left is a bird's eye view from the new rainforest exhibit called Tropical Encounters.
The sky's reflection falls on a lovely fountain statue is from the Sunken Garden's winter flower show.
See more sky views here.
Happy Friday!

To live in the presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals--that is what keeps a man patient when the world ignores him, and calm & unspoiled when the world praises him.
