Legos And More At The Climatron

   I don't remember having Legos when I was growing up, but they have become my favorite toy. I have enjoyed many hours both helping my sons make their Lego models with directions and then watching them dismantle their models and create their own. So when I saw that there was going to be a nature Lego display at the Climatron, I knew that it was a 'must see' for me!
 Inside the Climatron I had a wonderful time as I leisurely took in the different Lego sculptures and plants.

Sculptures nestled into the climatron's greenery.

    Some of the pictures are a little out of focus; I need more practice with difficult conditions, e.g. low light, reflective and uneven surfaces.

 Many of the flowers were high up in the canopy.





My favorite flower picture for the day.

 Some of the kids were a bit wary around this sculpture scene!

 I wish I could have seen how they transported and placed these sculptures without them falling apart.



This one is quite an eye-catcher!


 This one fit very well in it's habitat. Quite a few people missed it and had to come back to find it :-)
I think I liked this one best.






Even the white fence and seeds in the feeder were Lego bricks.




 I talked to one little boy here. He was sure he could make this lily because he had at least 32,000 or more Lego bricks. After a few seconds he added; but I don't have any pink ones :-(



This one is located in the Temperate House.
