Yesterday was a day of beauty for Barbara, my guest, and me. We went
to Dow Gardens with Lansing Woman's Club. Autumn color was beautiful
even under cloudy, rain washed skies. First we toured the home and
studio of architect Alden Dow. A room in the reception area is 18"
below the water level of the pond surrounding the home. Views from
every window made you feel city life was miles away, in reality the home
and gardens are in the center of Midland. Color, art , creativity fill
every room. I think surrounding yourself with beauty is an
inspiration.. After a box lunch in the garden barn, the director of the
garden spoke on the history of the garden and led us on a walk through
the garden. Again beauty in every direction. Some of the views I
enjoyed follow.
This bridge was designed to resemble the sun in its reflection.
On a sunny day I'm sure this tree would be even more vivid.
This bridge is made of cinders held together with cement.
This is a garden full of different kinds of kale! Sculpture is called The Grand Ham!
