Wordless Sunday! A Glass Display in the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix, Az

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Homes Arizona Real Estate LLC

My photo blogs are hardly wordless, but I just say "less." Each year, my husband and I take some time and go to the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. We really enjoy the beautiful displays presented there. This year, there were myriad glass sculptures by Chihuly all set into the desert scape. You'll notice the cacti, but the forefront with the light shining through are glass. The one I am sharing is one of my favorites. Another of my photos at the Chihuly exhibit which is on Flickr - was included in an article about our area.

Teri - Our family went to this display during the summer, and it was amazing!  My wife took lots of pictures.  I guess I should share some of them.

Lady in Red,

This photo of the cacti and the glass sculptures is a starp contrast.  I like sharp contrast.
