Mediterranean Biome in the Eden Project

The Mediterranean biome was my favorite!! (that’s also probably because it’s my favorite climate.) I saw plants from the Mediterranean, California, South Africa, and Western Australia. I was blown away by the Australian plants - I don’t think I had ever seen plants like that before! (They are the red/yellow/orange pallets of colors in the pictures.) #edenproject

Rainforest Biome in the Eden Project

The Rainforest biome was super fun! I saw plants from the tropical islands, Southeast Asia, west Africa, and tropical South America. I once tried to raise a tropical plant not realizing it was tropical... it died since it was way too dry this past winter... I would often bring the plant in the bathroom when I showered to help it out a little (humidity). Sadly, that just didn’t cut it for my poor plant. BUT I saw the same kind of plant in this biome and I’m happy places like this exist where the plants can grow peacefully. #edenproject

Eden's Project

I’m at the Eden Project in Cornwall! They turned a clay pit/mine into a garden paradise. It has several biomes (outdoor, Mediterranean, and rainforest). Two of them are in domes. Lots of sustainability research happens here in addition to designing potential “space” biomes to set up on Mars.

Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol

If I lived here I would walk to the observatory view point often and read looking over the bridge and beyond. It’s just so pretty in Bristol!!!

Walking around Bristol!

Walking around Bristol. It’s a beautiful city that reminds me a little of Pittsburgh. Today was the university’s graduation day so there were lots of grads everywhere.

Abbey Road Studios

I stopped by Abbey Road Studios and saw the graffiti on the wall remembering the Beatles. A construction worker saw me take a picture and said “it’s beautiful isn’t it?.... I wrote that.” We had a good laugh over it.
