A few from La Salle University's art collection

La Salle University is a private, Catholic university in Philadelphia, first founded in 1863 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. We had the opportunity to visit their art collection recently. As you can seem their collection holds a variety of styles from diverse time periods.

Happy Easter!

A few shots from the Easter vigil... These were taken during the procession into the church so it looks rather empty, but it filled up and was a beautiful celebration!

A few more before I forget...

The tulips were glorious. All of the displays had placards explaining the "vision" behind what we saw, but frankly the show was so crowded that it was often difficult to get close enough to read them. The theme of the flower show this year was "Gardens of Tomorrow".

Wrapping up your tour of the 2025 Philadelphia Garden Show

The garden show in Philadelphia is the United States' largest and longest-running horticultural event and fundraiser. I didn't realize that horticulturalists from around the world participate. This was my first time attending the show; it will not be my last!

I'm not sure what the clothes hanging from the line were supposed to signify -
we couldn't get close enough to the placard that explained this display!

More floral fantasies... the Philly Flower Show

The last ones (with the piano) were one of my favorites - quite whimsical.

Philadelphia Flower Show

So many breathtaking displays!

The first two in this series are near the entryway. The remaining photos in this post are of the entry that took the award for Best of Show in the Floral category. I simply can't imagine the hours - and the flowers - it took to create this display.

Come back next week for some more shots from the show!

The Masonic lodge halls

The layout of each of the "lodge halls" is the same as far as the seating for people holding position within the lodge and some of the symbolic items (like the placement of "torches", seals, and other symbols in the room). There are 6 lodge halls in the Philadelphia Temple; we visited 5 of them.
