| Morton Arboretum, in Lisle, Illinois has a wonderful display of Lego Creations from now until November 1. We decided to go over to see it. I could not image what this would be like. Thinking they would all be on display in one are, boy was I wrong. They had them in several areas around Meadow Lake and in the Children's Garden. The wheelbarrow is 70 x 34 x 33 inches, and has 29,900 pieces and 205 hours to build. |
 |
| In the Children's Garden, are several ponds that kids can wade in, along with the bull frogs. They were so still and quiet. |
 |
| I thought they (bull fogs) were part of displays in the gardens. They are very real, and a surprise for me to see. I had never seen a real bull frog. |
 |
| This one is Grandfather and Granddaughter Gardening. It does look like they are working in the garden. The Grandfather has 35,646 pieces and the Granddaughter 11,294. Amazing. |
 |
| How about this birdbath with the cardinals and squirrel handing on it? |
 |
| I had seen pictures of the hummingbird and flower, and wanted to make sure I found this one to see. Look at the suspension of the hummingbird. |
 |
| This one was suspended from the ceiling of the Administration Building. It is the Corn Spider. It only took 135 hours to build. |
 |
| For real life Andy and I got to see a hummingbird moth. They are a bit smaller then a real hummingbird, but their wings flutter just like the bird. |
 |
| We were in awe of the deer. The buck has 46,563 pieces. |
 |
| A bit of a close up, so you can see the detail. |
 |
| I love the Monarch and the milkweed. Who knew you could do this with Lego's. |
 |
| Look at the vibrancy of the Peacock. This is the most intensive display. There were 68.827 pieces and took 625 hours to build it. |
 |
| How about the attention to detail. This is the backside of the peacock. |
 |
| The Roseate Skimmer Dragonfly is 8 feet long. |
 |
| Got to love the pansy and bee. |
 |
| Real waterlily! |
 |
| Flowers at the entrance to the arboretum. The colors are beautiful. This Lego Display was created by Sean Kenney. In the bio from the arboretum, it ways he "is a renowned, award-winning artist, and "professional kid", who uses Lego pieces to design and create contemporary sculpture for high-profile clients, major corporations, and venues around the globe. He is the world's first Lego Certified Professional." I can say with certainty, we were all impressed. Maybe you too can have a "Lego" building kind of day. Mary |

bon week-end
Wow. I had to make each picture bigger to make sure it was really Legos. Amazing. Spike was interesting. Is it left over from the dinosaurs? That's what it reminds me off.
That is a cool display of LEGO's! I was expecting toys and such, but it almost looks real in a few of those pictures, pretty cool! What a wonderful weekend at the gardens, and what a nice way to bring this magical summer to an end.
