Woodward Park and Municipal Rose Garden

Saturday, 30 July 2011

This was where we walked into - the Linnaeus Teaching Garden, of the Woodward Park (1370 East 24th Place, Tulsa, OK 74114), where people learn gardening!

Don't know the names of these flowers




Nice settings




I knew summer would not be the right time to see roses. They look horribly dying! This was only 1 of the few that looked okay to me.


The rest looked like these. The temperature is just too hot for them! I would think they would be lovely in the Spring time.


I like this landscape, near the rose garden (2435 South Peoria Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74114)

Tulsa Air and Space Museum

Saturday, 23 July 2011

Mike had mentioned about us visiting the TASM (3624 North 74th East Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74115). I wasn't interested. He didn't like going alone. But lately I was thinking that was selfish of me. He loves planes and flying. So we went today. It turned out to be interesting for me afterall! I guess I just need a little push!

As regards to savings, we found online, a coupon $2 off admission for up to 4 persons! So I got $2 off my $12 ticket and Mike got $2 of his $10 ticket (senior fee). So instead of paying a total of $22, we paid $18 instead. We are happy with whatever savings we can get!

Philbrook Museum of Arts

Saturday, 9 July 2011

This was the 2nd Saturday of the month and it was free admission (funding of Oklahoma Arts Council)! Mike & I are not that crazy interested in arts and paintings, so we didn't want to spend $13 just to visit the Philbrook museum (2727 South Rockford Road, Tulsa, OK 74114) on other days. I was attracted by the pictures of the gardens and I wanted to see them. Mike care neither for the art nor the gardens but he took me there to make me happy. Thank you, Mike, I appreciate that.

My own shot of the museum from the garden. For a professional shot click on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philbrook_Museum_of_Art



Taken from the museum, looking down to the gardens


If this was my garden, I would love to sit on a mat below the shady tree, read or sleep. It was a sunny day and there was a breeze from time to time.


National flower of Malaysia! Size-wise, this was bigger.


I think these are Zinnias.


Interesting artwork. No signboard. Someone said that it was a hippopotumus


Can't make out what the sculptured animals were.


The signboard read "Thinker on a Rock"


Don't understand art to understand why it was called "Talisman".


The beautiful koi!


On the whole, I enjoyed this visit, especially the gardens. I had my exercise walking in the 23 acres of gardens. There were paintings in the museum that looked to me like the work of children playing with their brushes, but there were also paintings that I considered as real paintings like the Shepherdess.
