Last year the Denver Museum of Nature and Science had an exhibit on Poison. Part of that exhibit was around the use of poison as a plot device in literature. First up is the well known Sherlock Holmes series. Beyond showing old books, they exhibit featured common items, and some hints of what poisons were used. But while Sherlock is good, Agatha Christie is the queen of mysteries. I was sad though as I leaned in to see better, that they listed which poison was used in which book. SPOILER ALERT! Jeeze!

As a child I wanted to grow up and be a Librarian (well and a paleontologist or Indiana Jones!) As I just loved books! I would go to a few book stores on each trip, mainly to purchase more to read as I would have gone through all of the books I brought (thank god for the Kindle...no more separate bag just for books!)

I remember going to Charlie Eagle Plume's as a child, and listening to Charlie's stories. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
The Denver Art Museum had an exhibit called Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century which I was lucky enough to see in its last few days. It was amazing to see the artistic studies and detailed drawings that the Cartier artists made. Artistic Study Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
By my old condo, there was a ditch with many trees. The wind would blow all the leaves from the neighborhood into this ditch, and it would reach 3 feet high in some places. It was one of my favorite places during the fall. Huge yellow leaves up above, crunchy brown ones below. I enjoyed kicking and jumping in the leaves, while my dog loved jumping and eating the leaves. Seriously, she eats them up like potato chips. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
This little church in the mountains is beautiful in any season, but I think fall is the best. I stumbled upon a wedding this day. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
