Wow, I've been doing a lot of posts on myself lately. I guess I've actually been doing things.
Yesterday I went to the New York Botanical Garden to see their Holiday Train Show. It's an exhibition that showcases models famous buildings in NYC that are constructed entirely of plant materials. The detailing is so intricate and beautiful and there was so much to see. In addition to this, trains (hence the name) are placed around the entire exhibition, constantly weaving in and out of plants and around buildings. The backdrop of lush rainforest plants, holiday lights, and seasonal music added to the experience.
