Mount Cuba is a botanical garden and the former home and family estate of Lammot du Pont Copeland (great-great-great grandson of the DuPont Company founder) and his wife, Pamela Cunningham Copeland. In 1935, the Copelands built a stately Colonial Revival manor house near the village of Mt. Cuba, outside of Wilmington, Delaware. The Copelands were prominent members of the community. Mr. Copeland served as President and Chairman of the DuPont Company, while Mrs. Copeland was a leader in many community and cultural organizations. During the late 1930s, formal areas were designed first by the prominent Philadelphia landscape architect Thomas W. Sears and later, in the 1950s, by noted landscape designer Marian Cruger Coffin.[2]
In the 1960s, the Copelands were becoming acutely aware of a changing land ethic and they became more interested in ecology and the need for conservation. Mrs. Copeland, in particular, was increasingly concerned about wildflowers and the impact on them by development and unscrupulous practices. In response, landscape architect Seth Kelsey was hired to develop the woodland wildflower gardens with native plants, design their ponds, and plan many woodland garden paths.
In 1983, Dr. Richard Lighty was hired by the Copelands as their first Director of Horticulture. The Copelands expanded their horticultural endeavors to study native plants of the Appalachian Piedmont, the beginnings of a botanic garden on a private estate. That same year, Mr. Copeland passed away. In the late 1980s, Mt. Cuba Center began hosting visitors by offering docent-led tours during the spring. Mt. Cuba Center horticulturists also began documenting their increasingly diverse native plant collections.
In 2001, Mrs. Copeland died. Mt. Cuba Center was no longer a botanic garden on a private estate but a public garden for all to be inspired about native plants. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

I got the experience to live with one of the best person I have ever found in my life. Our view was on a 27 floor. We´re always excited about to get a real good shot form our favourite window. This´s it :)

Disney anunció este jueves que las aventuras de Woody, Buzz Lightyear y el resto de la pandilla de “Toy Story” tendrán una cuarta parte que se estrenará el 16 de junio de 2017.
Los estudios de animación volvieron a confiar en John Lasseter para dirigir “Toy Story 4″, después de encargarse de la dos primeras secuelas, aparecidas en 1995 y 1999 respectivamente y creadas junto a Pixar.
“Amamos muchos a estos personajes, son como nuestra familia”, aseguró Lasseter en un comunicado.
“No queremos hacer nada con ellos a menos que (la historia) iguale o supere lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora”, afirmó el director.
Lasseter escribirá el guión junto a Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter y Lee Unkrich, autores de los otros tres libretos.
“Toy Story 3″, que fue dirigida por Unkrich, logró en 2011 el Óscar a Mejor película animada y Mejor canción por “We Belong Together”.
El universo cinematográfico de “Toy Story” recaudó más de 1.900 millones de dólares en todo el mundo, según cifras del sitio Box Office Mojo.
Disney adquirió los estudios de animación Pixar en 2006 por 7.400 millones de dólares.
