And Out Like a Lion...

I know that March is supposed to end, like a lamb. This March ended just as it began, like a lion. Despite the nicer days we've been having, this afternoon was just another winter day. It was cold, rainy and generally miserable. I wore my lightest winter coat, but I could have used a heavier one and I definitely needed my gloves. Alas...

In the midst of these last, lingering days of winter I saw the sight I have been most eager to see.

In a flower bed on Fifth Avenue, my first sign of spring!

 

 

Today was my last lecture on Japanese art at the Metropolitan Museum and I would be remiss if I didn't share a picture I took this morning. I'm back with my old friend, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

 

 

I've shared his work in stained glass, but in this post I want to share a favorite of his work in glass tile. This is "Garden landscape and fountain," which originally was featured at the Tiffany showrooms. 

 

I'm excited about my special day tomorrow. It's still a surprise, but I've got a little hint. I'm humming all day in anticipation. I'll be posting about it tomorrow and that's no fooling.

 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care!
