Happy Easter!!

These are pictures from the Chihuly Exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Our next door neighbor is a ranger there and treated us a couple weeks ago. The picture above is of his piece titled "The Sun" - I thought it was appropriate for today. Dale Chihuly is a glass artist who has pioneered in glassblowing- all of his sculptures are blown glass. The Sun is over 700 tubes wired together. For each exhibit (it's a traveling exhibit), the pieces are wired together, so the pieces never turn out the same way. Chihuly also comes to the location, and chooses where he wants the pieces and builds the garden into his art. It was amazing! Even just the Desert Botanical Garden was incredibly beautiful.

Happy Easter!
