Lights at year's end

Jean and I caught the last evening of the River of Lights at Albuquerque's Botanical Gardens. It was freezing, but we were glad we went.

Here's a basket of illuminated posies in the Moorish Garden just to the right of the entrance.

I'm pretty sure these are thistles. They were on the opposite side of the garden.

The bat was nicely done, I think. There were hummingbirds, too, but they were huge and somewhat scary.

Pollinators, you know.
