Oyster Bay is home to one of my favorite Botanical Gardens; Planting Fields Arboretum. I usually try and visit 2 or 3 times a year. Its nice in the spring because they are one or two weekends ahead of Connecticut so when the spring bug is really biting I can always go and see some flowers before they are blooming on this side of Long Island Sound. This is from the stained glass exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. There were some great floral pieces like this Wisteria, as well as some Tiffany landscapes in Stained Glass which I hadn’t seen before. In another area they had a lot of stained glass from the 13th Century that was amazing condition. All of the stained glass was lit well which really showed its colors.

I took these photos there also.

They have quite an Egyptian Collection at the Met, including a small temple that has been reconstructed inside the Sackler Wing. They have some pictures of it in its original location in Egypt. I was trying to find the sign for this piece and accidentally bumped into him. Thankfully there was no disaster.
