Today we went with Joe and Ellen DeRose to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. Just the gardens are beautiful, but the main reason we went was to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit. He is an artist who works in glass. If you've ever been to the Bellagio in Las Vegas, one of his sculptures hangs in the lobby by the check in desk.
These works were amazing. Imagine having to dismantle these and pack them up without breaking anything! Some of the employees were actually dusting them, which out here is a losing battle.
None of the pictures really captures the beauty, but thought I'd share anyway.
Enjoy!

| This is called blue sapphire |

| How do they get the glass stalks in the ground without breaking them? Also, the black balls are glass too! |
 |
| Imagine putting this one together! |

| This one was my favorite |
