Queen Califia's Garden

The other day I was raving about a most unusual piece of walk-in art here in Escondido--Queen Califia's Magical Garden.

We went back yesterday--on a dark, gloomy morning to see what the different light would bring to the amazing sculpture--and it was just as beautiful as before.

The blazing points of reflected sunlight from the mirrors and shining tiles were subdued but more color seemed to be emitted from the deep red tiles in the mouths of the guardian serpents--and it was much more comfortable as the day was much cooler.
