This installation was on display at the Hartford Public Library when I was there a few weekends back. When I saw it, I thought immediately of Munchkin Land. And stopped there for a long while to enjoy the good fun of this artificial garden.

    Or Alice in Wonderland... Hi Sandy. Happy Palm Sunday.

    I wrote this and thought you'd like it:

    Palm fronds
    strewn along the road
    why are they there?
    He passed a while ago
    and the people cried "King," "King."
    He tried to diabuse them of the notion
    but they believed,
    at least for now,
    they believed.

    I like most any garden. This is a nice indoor garden. One to stimulate the imagination.

    Munchkin Land is a perfect description for this beautiful garden. Someone worked very hard to create it and you captured it very nicely.

    As I quickly scrolled through I thought the last picture was a chocolate cake! Chocolate cake is just always in the uppermost area of my frontal lobe, I suppose.

    What a fun display!
