Natural History Museum trip

Last weekend we went to the National Museum of Natural History - such a cool museum. One of the exhibits is the hyperbolic crochet coral website (http://crochetcoralreef.org/). This is SO cool. It's basically a giant coral reef, complete with the coral itself and animals like anemones, all crocheted out of different colors. Here are some pics:

This is so neat - look at the fan coral, and brain coral.. those look super realistic!


A more colorful section of the reef....

This part looks like animals on the reef...

We also went to the annual orchid show, which the NMNH puts on with the US Botanic Garden. Pictures don't do this exhibit justice.
