Large lizard

I didn't see a sign identifying it, but it was large!

Baobab tree

A tree so large, it is impossible to get it all in one shot.

A lizard I think

It is drinking water an attendant sprayed on the leaves for him to drink.

We had lunch there before we went to Orchid Mania at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.

The building with the shiny, stainless steel roof is the Peter B. Lewis building of Case Western Reserve University. Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, it was built 10 years ago, with a major gift from Lewis, as the home of the Weatherhead School of Management.

A not-very-sharp orchid

Getting sharp photos of the orchids was a challenge.

Many orchids were in hanging baskets.

Another hanging orchid

It must have taken many hours to design and hang this display.

Taken through the window because the door to the balcony was locked. The two buildings in the center are part of University Hospital.
