Pittsburgh Light

As the snow from this week's winter storm falls outside, I'm finally getting a chance to post photos from my stay in Pittsburgh on another frigid February weekend. Here's the view from Beth and Jesse's backporch -- notice the hawk in the tree below.

With temperatures close to zero, it seemed a good day for a visit to Phipps Conservatory, where we enjoyed cacti, bonsai, orchids, and lots of green (more posts coming), and for a stop at a coffee shop, where we enjoyed the artistry of the foam.

Same plant, other side, with hassock sized cacti.

Chihuly glass sculpture -- these seem to be a customary element at conservatories and botanical gardens!
