(Return to Father John's Log!)

Near Yonkers, NY, in fact in White Plains is the international office of the Pepsi Corporation. On their grounds they have placed many modern sculptures by renowned artists. The final trek of my art search as I prepared to leave for Rome included a visit to these spectacular gardens.

At the beginning of the tour, you are greeted by an Alexander Calder sculpture that is magnificent.

Moving through the gardens there are many pieces surrounded by an equal art-filled working of plants and trees that both enhance the art and make statements on their own. To share more of these photos along my trek check out the What's New on our web site for more images.

Leaving the States finally for Rome and the next images and travels will be hopefully of the beauty of an ancient sort still surviving today across the pond!

PS. Beanie Babies are the rage here in the East and I hope that Fleece and Puffer at home in my room are doing okay!! They could have made this trip travelling free!!! Thought this would be an interesting combination of Art and art.
