Chihuly Glass Exhibit

We saw the most fantastic things today!! Our friends Dan and Barb Bloem took us to the Desert Botanical Gardens here in Phoenix. They have a temporary exhibit of the blown glass of Dale Chihuly. Set in the midst of the plants of the Sonoran desert are the most wonderful glass shapes. They come in all colours, shapes and sizes - some blending in with the cacti and palo verde trees and others just standng up and making you say WOW! Some hang from ramadas over the succulent garden and some are multihued balls tumbling out of a boat. And some even look like ice cubes floating in the water of a desert oasis. These pictures will give you an idea of what we saw and I have many more that I'd love to show you when we get home. It was a wonderful day of interesting desert flora and the sun glinting and reflecting its rays on the glass creations of a master.
