Philadelphia Museum of Art (Weekend Reflections # 47)

This is one of the large windows at the entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I looked up and saw a wonderful reflection of some of the pillars, the blue sky and the large red banners that spelled out "RENOIR" You can also see some of the museums details above the windows.

  58. Hi again--I wanted to let you know that if you click on the link to my page--I've actually sent everyone to an entry I did a few days earlier than the rock heart. It is a photo of reflection from Huckleberry Bridge.

    I was in a hurry to travel to where our yearly Family Reunion was being held--and I wanted to share Huckleberry bridge with everyone. It is such a magical place...

    I recognize American strength...
