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.

Coventry Care Clinic And Gallery- A Pleasant Surprise!

        If you are ever in Door County Wisconsin, one gallery that is definitely worth checking out is the Coventry Care Clinic And Gallery in Sister Bay (near the Country Walk Shops). This gallery has a wide variety of  high quality pieces at bargain prices. The money generated from the gallery helps to fund the non profit, free medical clinic.

    While in the gallery/clinic, don't miss the exquisite handmade miniature house. It is enjoyed by people of all ages!

 It was a very pleasant surprise to see how far my money stretched in this gallery :-)  Here are a few of the awesome artworks I bought.

   This gallery is now a favorite for me, especially when I want to buy a gift or decorate my house and support a good cause at the same time!!
