off to the Cloisters

On a cold day, we set off for the Cloisters just down the road. Very convenient.
It is a grand place.
Even the little one was quite interested.
And was very good.

A lovely spot in the sun.
Fascinated by this gargoyle pouring water from his mouth.
The gardens outside are still interesting
even though they are in their winter dormant state, it won't be long before the spring breaks forth

Overlooking the Hudson river


I love the look of this old garden
these columns remind me of the University of Queensland in my home town..a little


let's go outside again Mummy

Thanks for coming along with us. That was fun.
Come again soon, and we will show you some more of this lovely place.

My daughter reminded me that we visited the Cloisters the day before the first baby arrived, so we are wondering what tomorrow may bring!! Even though she isn't due for another couple of weeks. On checking my blog, I discovered that my camera batteries had died that day, and I didn't get many photos at all that day, so I am thankful for a lovely day today with lots of photos!

Hmm... interesting timing. Lovely photos. What cloister is this?

"The Cloisters" is an adjunct of the Met. It sits high on a hill at Washington Heights. In Fort Tryon Park. Like a medieval castle. Just down the road from where my daughter lives at the northern tip of Manhattan Island. It has been funded by the Rockefeller family I think, and houses all the medieval artifacts from the main building of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is situated in Central Park.

Annie, These photos are wonderful. The one of your daughter and grandson at the window should be framed. I love the columns and the winter garden. Keeping my fingers crossed for the new baby and your Family. How exciting!
