When I woke up this morning the temperature was 0. It was cold! I had already decided I wanted to stay home today. Spring, Fall, and Winter are my favorite seasons but I do not enjoy temps that are under 20.
This was a visit to the Nelson Atkin Museum last Thursday. I walked through at least some of the South Asian rooms.
This room was so neat. The walls and ceilings are from the porch of a Hindu Temple.

Many of the Hindu statues were in yoga positions.
