A Short while back, I saw a documentary about his life, but don't remember learning about Taliesin West. There is something about the air and vibe in Arizona and New Mexico that is soulful and serene. Glad you got to visit again with G. Frank Lloyd Wright is an American Icon. <br /><br />Thanks for the boxes and Michele I know will be thanking you! They are safe.<br /><br />We have been dining up a storm. The weather is Parfait. The buskers are out in full force.<br /><br />Glad you had another reason to visit the FlowerMart, that you could help S. That you were there for to hang out with~~~<br /><br />Miss you!<br />xox<br />Constancerochambeauhttp://rochambeau.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-582348141096603262010-04-27T08:20:28.688-07:002010-04-27T08:20:28.688-07:00Dear Marilyn,

I'm sure Scottsdale is a favorite amongst baseball teams because the desert is so beautiful at this time of year. <br /><br />This is my second time to visit Taliesin West, so these photos are gleaned from both visits. <br /><br />I don't know when FLW finally installed running water but I'm guessing it was long after Olgivanna's wishes. <br /><br />I have not been to Sedona yet - it's on my bucket list. I'm sure your friends have a fabulous house.<br /><br />Dear maggie,<br />I was very happy to learn about the "embrace & release" concept because it is a bit disconcerting to be confronted with the dark entryways.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-66827803905777261822010-04-24T07:21:23.297-07:002010-04-24T07:21:23.297-07:00Dear Mumsy,

That first picture of the house perfectly illustrates why it is named the "eyebrow house". It sits just like an eyebrow on the face of the desert. I adore how his designs embrace the land and become a part of it. I can barely breathe after seeing it's beauty. If I got to see it in person, I would have to carry an oxygen tank!<br /><br />There's a FLW house in Springfield where my son lives, about 40 minutes away. It was recently restored and reopened last year. I must make time to go see it. <br /><br />Thank you for this post, dutchbaby!

Thank you for sharing your excellent photos and experience. <br /><br />Amazing that he didn't have running water for all that time. My friends Ed & Martha built a fantastic home outside Sedona, and he told me about the water issues, especially when the wildfires were raging a few years ago - frightening!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-88133812249955647692010-04-16T09:28:04.003-07:002010-04-16T09:28:04.003-07:00What a wonderful post, and very informative!
