Saturday I dropped the kid off at his comedy improv class and I headed over to the Philbrook Museum of Art to wander the grounds. My MIL Nana bought the family a season pass and I love it because I feel that I can just pop in and spend an hour without thinking that I have to get my money’s worth.
This is the Tempietto at Philbrook. It and the Praying Hands at Oral Roberts University are the most photographed scenes in Tulsa. I’ve taken my share of them. It is just so beautiful I never get tired of it. The guy in the pic had an easel and was painting. There were several other people out and about drawing and sketching the gardens on Saturday.
And this is from the base of the Tempietto looking back to the house, Villa Philbrook it is called. I never tire of this scene either.
And this was on the east side of the grounds. There were purple tulips (I think they are tulips) and they were just beautiful.
The gardens at Philbrook Museum of Art are a great way to spend an hour or two when the weather is good. Do you have a go to place that you never get tired of going to?

Those are fantastic images and I also think your MIL’s gift was so incredibly thoughtful! I would love to spend time here.
I love visiting the Philbrook Museum, and also never tire of the views!
Wonderfully serene place, so nicely landscaped and beautifully captured in your photos!
Idyllic scene at he pond. Nice capture.
Now, about Oral Roberts. WHAT a quack!
Praying Hands? Even I might pray for him. hahahaha

That looks like a photographers dream. Gorgeous light and layout of the gardens.
What a beautiful place to be able to ‘drop in’ at random and do wonderful photography!

Worth a Thousand Words
I see you were “painting” this beautiful place as well. 😉 Nice to have the pass and drop by.
This looks like a very pretty garden, Yogi. It is nice when art museums also have outdoor areas to visit.
We bought passes to the Denver Botanical Garden for the same reason. It is a very peaceful place to visit many times during the year.
Season pass to a place like this is a wonderful gift. Beautiful grounds and so wonderful to visit often and see and photograph the seasonal changes.
Pretty reflection. I now feel so much more relaxed. 😉
Lovely scenes! The reflection adds so much to the beauty of the place.
These are gorgeous images. I would be very happy just sitting in that garden every day.
