Another day of our vacation was spent at Reiman Gardens.
Graham & Dane beside Iowa State mascot Cy.
So stylish!
The show is titled
“Nature Connects”
and is part of the garden’s 2012 Some Assembly Required theme.
Thirteen new, nature-inspired sculptures made from 500,000 LEGO bricks will reside at
Reiman Gardens April 23 through Oct. 31
during the gardens' second "Nature Connects" exhibition.
The first show, featuring 27 sculptures, debuted in 2012.
Hanging Corn Spider
I remember many of these during my childhood days on the farm.
We called them garden trappers.
They spun webs in the corn fields and gardens.
This spider scared the little ones. They did not want to walk under it.

But where are my grandchildren?
Spencer is patiently waiting for a butterfly to alight on his hand at
the Reiman Garden Butterfly House.
We had a busy day... and yes, it was a hot one!
