Enjoying Nature Indoors at Phipps

February 2, 2016February 2, 2016 A Plus Attitude

Chihuly Glass Sculptures Last Friday my husband and I were off so we decided to spend the day at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Phipps was established in 1893 in Pittsburgh, PA. It’s sandwiched between two well-known university campuses: Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. It’s one of my favorite places to visit, especially in the winter when everything is so gray. I brought my Nikon camera and captured some pretty nice shots. Here is a sampling of some of my favorites. Of course, it’s pretty easy to get some good shots when you’re working with such beautiful subjects.

Flowers and Mocha The Beauty of Impermanence

June 7, 2015June 3, 2017 A Plus Attitude

I love this time of year. Everything is in bloom, the days are longer and warmer. I love to sit out on my deck. It overlooks woods and is in the back of my house. In the morning, upon awakening, I go downstairs, put on a pot of coffee, heat up a combo of almond and soymilk in preparation for my morning mocha. I love the ritual of preparing the drink, getting it just the right strenght, sweetness and temperature and pairing it with a small morsel of something sweet. While the coffee is brewing and the milk combo is … Continue reading Flowers and Mocha The Beauty of Impermanence
