It's 2016! A fresh start and it feels good to leave 2015 behind. It was a tough year and we are really looking forward to a year of changes and happiness!! Mimi is visiting us this weekend and we thought we'd make a good start to the New Year by visiting the Renwick Gallery in DC this morning. It was a great trip! The exhibitions were breathtaking and it's a small museum so we were able to get through it all without any complaints or boredom. Everyone seemed to have a good time!! It's the first museum I've ever been to that had signs encouraging photography and even gave an instagram hashtag to post with - they they live streamed the photos on this monitor! What a great idea!!!
This exhibit reminded me of an exhibit that we had visited at
Cheekwood a few years ago! It has GOT to be the same artist - unless there are two people doing very similar things with long sticks!!!
Another beautiful exhibit with thousands of wires or maybe strings of rainbow colors!
Piles of notecards!
A view down the hall!
A visual representation of the shock waves from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan - the colors changed and shifted, making it feel very different from minute to minute.

This sign does a better job explaining this exhibit than I could!
