Thanks for the wonderful reports Gail, the pictures are incredible (and now I can revisit what I wasn't able to photograph at Springfield)!

Thanks Pete, appreciate the kind words.

Here are some more photos, as per Jordi's request. I have included a few of the famous GLASS flowers. This is an area right next to the Mineral hall, and perhaps the most famous exhibit.

I just had five nice photos to add and the website asked me for my name and password, so lost the lot. Will add more when the mood strikes. Right now I want to throw my computer across the room, but won't as I am in no mood to clean up the mess. Don't you love computers????
Later.
