AND SOME SCULPTURES/OTHER SIGHTS FROM THE BOTANIC GARDEN

So, plants aside for a minute, here are a few architectural decorations that add to the charm of the structure. Also, some critters that posed for me and a few other sights down on the DC Mall... this is turning out to be longer than I thought, but it is a good long!

Here are a bunch of pendants that adorn the exterior of the Botanic Garden Conservatory, I believe they are woodland gods/godesses. Very cool stuff!
