Philbrook

We went to the Festival of Trees at the Philbrook Art Museum for the first time this year.  It was really great.  I would like to make it a holiday tradition.  We saw Christmas trees ranging from the Tri-Force from the Legend of Zelda games, to an evergreen covered in pink flamingos, to a tree made out of cedar shingles (oval slices of cedar trunk).  I wish I had taken more pictures.  All the trees and Christmas items are for sale to support the museum.  Besides trees they had a massive display of very elaborate gingerbread houses.  Then we toured the garden out behind the Philbrook mansion.  It was done up in pretty lights.  See for yourself...

The Legend of Zelda tree.

A framed, quilled paper tree (I think it was about 10" tall).

And all the gingerbread houses.

Gingerbread house landed on the wicked witch in Oz.  Notice the yellow brick road.
