Mel’s Color Commentary: Day Two
by Mel on Apr.12, 2009, under Next Exit: US of A
We visited the Desert Botanical Garden today, which is featuring a special exhibition by the famous glass artist Chiuly. So you’d guess that I’d pick one of the vibrant colors he’s using in his glass installations. Well, no… there was something more impressive. The color of the day is greenish-silvery-grey… something very camouflagy if you happen to be an Anne’s hummingbird. We saw dozens of them - very cute and very interesting, considering that Colin never saw a live hummingbird in his life and the last one I’ve seen was when I was a kid at a zoo behind inches of glass.

Alrighty then!
The night was weird kinda. I was dead tired, yeah, still sleep was only caught a few hours each time. Ah well, I did get my 8 hrs of sleep, total, so that’s good, right?
So, finally, 8 AM and we decide to skip breakfast at the hotel in favor of picking up the rental and then locating an IHOP or Waffle House or something of the breakfast persuasion while en route to the Bass Pro Shop.
