Several weeks ago, I visited the US Botanic Garden on a blustery Sunday afternoon. Saying it was nice stepping into a climate controlled, aesthetically pleasing environment would have been an understatement that day. I have found that Chicago might have a rival competing for the title of Windy City. Anyway, the Garden was beautiful. It is about half block away from the Capitol Building and is definitely worth a quick side trip before you see your favorite Congresswoman, Senator, etc. In the pictures above and below, you will see some seasonally appropriate fall foliage and sculptures of Washington landmarks. The sculptures are hand carved by a man from Kentucky, who fashions them from various plant materials. Pretty cool display of craftsmanship and patriotism, right?
