Happy Valentine's Day to me

After reading a fellow blogger's post about going to the Noguchi playscapes at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia, I decided to treat myself by visiting the 1961 Noguchi sculpture installation in my city, Fort Worth, Texas. So I hopped in the car and drove the five minutes to 7th Street in the downtown area and feasted my eyes on something better than chocolate.

Then I remembered that this is another Noguchi sculpture garden in town...the one entitled Constellation that he created in honor of Louis Kahn, the architect who designed the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth.
