Chihuly in the Desert...Amazing! ! !

I have wanted to take my wife, Mary Margaret, to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix for quite sometime now. Recently, we had the chance to visit and we stumbled onto the, Chihuly in the Desert, exhibit. It is a remarkable display of Chihuly's work. I loved the sophisticated glass artwork displayed against the rugged beauty of the desert, especially after the sun went down. If you are in the area, you really need to view it, but hurry. It is scheduled to end June 19th. You will not be disappointed!

Ray, this would be fun to see in the desert. We did have this event here in Denver for a while too, but never made it.

Did you know that Dale Chihuly was born in Tacoma, WA? He created a beautiful Garden of Glass with his famous blown glasses right in the middle of the Seattle Center. I can't help bragging about his work!! Yeah, Chihuly and I go way back! 😎

Hi Ray,

The day I saw the Chihuly Glass exhibit in Dallas several years ago in the Botanical Gardens I was sold. Your photos videos are terrific! Chihuly in the Dessert is absolutely beautiful! You did a great job on this blog post!
