Don’t miss the stunning Lightscape<\/a> show shining in the San Francisco Botanical Garden<\/a> within Golden Gate Park<\/a>. Nightly light displays are adding beauty to the garden. Even without orchids, it’s a spectacular botanical exhibit. I’ve been to the garden many times over the decades, but never at nighttime. It’s a very different experience. The lights constantly change colors along a mile-long (1.6 km) trail. There are luminescent dragonflies and giant glowing peonies. Highlights include a large tree with rainbow lights extended down its roots, and a balloon replica of the moon suspended between trees, against a background of twinkling lights and color spotlights. There are several food and beverage vendors among the displays. The show has been a big hit, and extra dates have been added. It’s great for the holiday season, and a perfect way to celebrate today’s solstice. Buy your tickets online in advance.<\/a> Lightscape runs through January 4th.<\/p>\n
