Watch a Winter Sunset in Williamsburg, Virginia

Beautiful clouds scudded across the sky as we came out of the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum at Colonial Williamsburg, VA.
Spectacular pink clouds were moving below the higher dark grey layer directly above the entrance to the former Virginia Public Hospital of 1773.
Watch the sunset! HD
The Museum is located at 326 West Francis Street, Williamsburg, Virginia.

How Do Trees Dream?


In vivid color.

Take a walk through the dreams of trees and plants as envisioned at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Look for the "rain catcher."

"Dormant Dreams" is a temporary fiber arts installation by Yarn Blaster Babes and their collaborators at the Santa Barbara Fiber Arts Guild and students from Santa Barbara Charter School.

Especially in the quiet rain, you could hear the trees dreaming.
