I know I said "mostly pictures" in my post and so it will be. But I didn't take any photos of the exhibits in the museum which included a wonderful exhibit of their Daywood Collection which was a gift of Ruth Dayton Woods.
There was also a quilt exhibit but I have to admit I didn't really like very many of them...
So, on our way out, we decided to visit the conservatory and, as always, it is in glowing health! I actually got some photos there that I'm happy with. :)

And this is the Chihuly glass installation placed several years ago now. I posted about it when it was installed but figured I'd put another picture of it here cause it is just so perfect in this setting!
I should have looked to see if this plant was identified but didn't. Would it be a bougainvillea I wonder? Anyway, whatever it is, this flower was just begging to be photographed. So lovely...
And that's all from the museum. Driving back in to town, we did a detour to take in the new construction and this next picture is for January's benefit (and mine - I figure it will entice her for a visit some time after it's completed).
This is what the news on line had to say about it:
"The bones of the old MacIntosh's Pub in Huntington are expanding and will soon be enveloped with the Bahn Hos, named for a German railway.
The German-American gastro pub will feature home made pretzels, real schnitzel and a Biergarten complete with a wide variety of your favorite legal beverages.
They're working toward a September opening, because Oktoberfest actually begins in September."
So, everyone come visit Huntington in October and join in the Oktoberfest festivities!
And, finally, it's been a long time since I've posted one of my never-successful sky pictures. This one doesn't do justice to what I was seeing either but that's the way it goes.
