Another of my favorite Berkshire destinations are the Norman Rockwell Museum grounds. Every year they have a delightful, themed sculpture exhibition. It is free to the public. You can wander around, bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the spectacular views from the top of the hill. Rockwell's studio is also there but they moved it to the hilltop from it's original location in Stockbridge. He never actually painted there but it is still interesting and a beautiful location.

Another cactus skeleton
Cactus are just as interesting, if not more so, when they are dead. As in this cactus skeleton.

Saguaro Cactus deformity
A wonderful magical place in Tucson called the Tucson Botanical Garden. It used to be a private home and is now owned by the city of Tucson. This is a photo taken in the Desert Garden. Apparently some Saguaros grow with defects, like this one.

Cocoon Necklace
I saw this necklace in a wonderful place in Tucson called Tohono Chul Park. it is made from cocoons but it didn't say what kind. I always find it amazing at all the wonderful things that can be used to create jewelry. Let's hope they don't hatch though while wearing it! That could be weird!

Of course it is! This little guy cracked me up! It looks just like a hedgehog, hence the name!

Cactus skeleton
Photos from my recent trip to Tucson. I fell in love with all the many varieties of cactus. Even the skeletons.
