Garden of Hope 1995

In a twilight ceremony, one woman raises a lamp symbolizing the promise of tomorrow's dawn while another carries a basket of flowers--a reminder of the abundance of life. Their dinosaur escort, through this woodland garden where roses, lilacs, and lilies grow abundantly, is an Oviraptor.
