In one of the many travel magazines I get in the mail, I saw a small blurb on Falling Water, Frank Lloyd Wright's beautifully built home for the Kaufman family from Pittsburg located in Mill Run, PA. We planned a trip to visit my son at college during Easter and decided this would be a good side trip. It definitely was off the beaten path, but well worth it. What a wonder! We arrived late in the day so really only had time to view the grounds. This beautiful home is somehow nestled into the hillside and becomes one with the waterfall. Can you even imagine living in such a wonder? I think I would spend everyday just watching nature around me, oblivious to anything else happening around me. We will have one more visit to PA this year and I hope that we can find time to stop by again and take the tour of the inside. I look forward to that, as it has original furnishings and art work.

I have always loved Frank Lloyd Wright's designs. However Falling Water is to me one of his best.
ReplyDeleteYou really should find the time to take the tour. I promise you won't regret one second of it. You should also try to visit Taliesin in AZ. It was not only his work space but his home. Beautiful

Dear Sandi,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post about Frank Lloyd Wright. As an Art History major in college, I had the chance to study his work and I have been a fan ever since.
I've enjoyed reading others of your posts today, especially the one about the flower club.
I have always found flower arranging a calming, joyful experience and my dream someday is to have the kind of flower garden that would allow me to make fresh flower arrangements often.
Have a great day,
Jlo
