Day 23- A day at the Museum!

Today my wife and I did something rare for us lately, we took Saturday off and went to the San Bernardino Museum (taking the day off was the “rare” part). We had a good time and saw all the requisite museum-stuff.

My photo of the day for Day 23 is this one:

A Plant that would rival Jaws for the number of “teeth” it shows.

The SB Museum isn’t very big, but it has all the usual museum things like the requisite stuffed animals…

I told her it was like “Build-a-bear” on a much larger scale.

We also saw….


Lots of animal life like snakes and lizards and stuff….

The requisite power-display with a beautiful old meter.

And ancient-artifacts that appear almost “Magritte” like.

Outside the museum, the cactus-garden had a lot of neat and prickly plants….

all in all, a relaxing day and a good way to get photo-of-the-month, Number 23.
