On a near perfect afternoon I took a trip with some classmates to see the Patrick Doughtery exhibit at Dumbarton Oaks Garden. It was a GORGEOUS place! Its unreal to think it is nestled in the heart of the city. When you're inside you can't hear cars- all you hear are birds and insects chirping. It would be a great wedding/date spot as well for anyone. I was inspired by the outdoor spaces they have created- I would want this type of landscape architecture in my own home one day. I was happy Prof. Lechinsky suggested we stop by there. Here are some of my favorite shots...

| 1st view of Doughtery exhibit. The trees remind me of the haunted forest in the Wizard of Oz. They are all interconnected and look like they have been blown through a wind tunnel. Its pretty amazing to be inside of it and try to figure out how he accomplished connecting all of the structures. I didn't see any twine holding things together but I really would like to know how he does it. I'm also pumped about Doughtery because he's from my home state (North Carolina) and the town I spent the best four years of my life in, Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!!!!). I also took video of when you first walk into the exhibit but it refused to load on my blog :/ |

| See how it looks wind blown |

| close up of the branches and how they are intertwined |
 |
| I tried to show with this one how each structure was connected from above. It was one big circle |
 |
| This tree was was an anomally to me. It seemed almost human with its scales and the wrinkles and ridges in it reminded me of tendons in muscles. |
 |
| This looked like an elbow or knee to me |
