Sept 24, 2012   Blanco Museum, Ubud

Blanco was a Spanish painter and close friend to Dali and his influence is seen in some of his paintings. He came to Bali in 1952 and married a famous Balinese Dancer who often modeled in his paintings.  

They say that if you can look the Dragon in the eye with only love it will become a divine goddess.

It looked like Pam was going to the birds.

We strolled the garden and enjoyed its beauty and it also stimulated ideas for our gardens back home.  I love the way the plants are layered so it brings more depth to the gardens.  Many orchids were blooming, bird nest ferns hung in the trees, and a canopy of vines were overhead and offered a quiet place to sit.

Tomorrow we are taking an overnight road trip into the mountains to visit some very special temples.  We will be unable to post till we get back.
