I'm sure a lot of you will appreciate these pictures. I took them yesterday at an exhibit of glass sculpture and other art by Dale Chiluly. The artist is known for creating glass art that is very organic, almost like plant or sea life, and a lot of it is displayed among plants and gardens. The sheer scale of some of the pieces is astonishing. I'll have to mention the size of most of these, otherwise it might be hard to tell from the pictures. For instance, the spheres in this picture are about 30" in diameter.

You really have to see these in person to appreciate them. The colors are brilliant. Pretty amazing stuff.
