Bees, Philadelphia and DC


'Immersion' at the Guggenheim, NYC

2 weeks ago I spent thirty relaxing minutes staring at bees on a frame. At first there were just bees buzzing around the screen, then a head surged from the bottom of the picture, until finally a head covered with bees. This was the basis of the 'Immersion' exhibit by Mark Thompson at the famous Guggenheim museum in NYC.

This all came about when my mom and her dear friend Janie decided to make a trip out east to see this exhibit (since Janie's brother is the artist!) along with visiting Ben and I in Philly and then down to DC to see my sister Kata.

We were blessed with their 5 day visit here in this historic city. It was a fun weekend of sightseeing, good food and fun in Philly. We spent a day in NYC and then our last day together we went down to see Kata and her new stomping grounds in DC.

Here are a few pics from our time together. Thanks for the visit!
