We got a taste of late summer today at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia. As you can see from all of the photgraphs and slide shows below, the gardens are beautiful at this time of year.
In addition to strolling through the fifty-plus acres of outdoor gardens, we also enjoyed seeing over a dozen large-scale, stainless steel sculptures that moved and changed with the wind. These works of arts were part of an exhibit called "Wind, Waves and Light: Art in Motion"
All of the sculptures were by artist and engineer George Sherwood, and they evoked shimmering leaves, flocks of birds, schools of fish, waves of light and more. The exhibition of kinetic sculptures runs through October 18, 2020.

Captive! We bring reprieve of roses! Fainting! Flasks of air! Even for Death, a fairy medicine. But, which is it, sir? |  |
