Basking in the vibrant hues of spring, the Minneapolis Public Library stands as a testament to both architectural innovation and the city’s rich intellectual heritage. This iconic structure, now part of the Hennepin County Library system, has long been a cornerstone of Minneapolis, fostering knowledge, culture, and community engagement.

The library’s modern design, characterized by sleek glass facades and striking geometric forms, reflects the city’s commitment to forward-thinking architecture.

Lily McGee Botanical Garden Vero Beach Florida

McKee Botanical Garden, located at 350 U.S. Highway 1 in Vero Beach, Florida, is an 18-acre subtropical oasis renowned for its diverse plant collections and serene landscapes. Established in 1929 by Waldo E. Sexton and Arthur G. McKee, the garden was designed by landscape architect William Lyman Phillips, who integrated streams, ponds, and trails into the native tropical hammock. After a period of closure and land sales in 1976, the garden was revitalized and reopened in 2001. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized by the Garden Conservancy as a preservation project of national significance.

One of the garden's most celebrated features is its extensive waterlily collection, which includes over 100 varieties, some spanning more than three feet across. This collection has earned international acclaim, with McKee Botanical Garden being one of only eight gardens worldwide to receive the International Waterlily and Water Gardening Society's certification of excellence.

The Eiffel Tower Paris France at Night ~ Love is in the air

The Story Behind This Image

Some moments in life feel like a dream, and this was one of them.

Our journey to France was already special—our son was studying there, and we had the joy of traveling through Italy with him, exploring the wonders of Rome, Florence, and Cinque Terre before arriving in Montpellier to meet his host family. But now, it was just the two of us, free to experience France on our own, to soak in its beauty, its history, its romance.

In Paris, we spent the day fully immersed in its magic—wandering through the Louvre, marveling at world-famous art, hopping on and off buses to take in as many sights as possible, and walking more than 20,000 steps through the heart of the city. By evening, we were exhausted, but there was one more experience we had been dreaming of.

We finally settled into our seats at a cozy French restaurant, ready for an unforgettable dinner in the most romantic city in the world. The aroma of incredible food filled the air, the soft hum of conversation surrounded us, and then—this happened.

The Eiffel Tower came to life.
