I've always enjoyed visiting the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix but when I heard that they were hosting a major Chihuly exhibit, I really wanted to go.
Chihuly's glass was artfully placed to compliment the desert plants and environment.
And when the sun began to set, the exhibit took on an entirely different look.
Walking along the path with lots of warnings not to touch anything- cactus OR glass.
Kaden & Mary
I love this picture.
Kaden's face, "seriously?!"... the fact that it looks like Owen just peed...
dusk
there were lots of tastefully placed spikes around the entire area
This "sun" sculpture was one of my absolute favorites
A BIG-GIANT cactus!
Even though it's a beautiful picture, it doesn't quite capture how great it looked in person.
the balloon looking glass sculpture was the boys' favorite
Our little family.
This is the same sculpture as the first picture, but looks entirely different as the sun went down and it became illuminated.
the blue pair of butterfly wings from the gift shop
Just one example of Mary's planning and cooking for every night's meal.
She knew that we wouldn't be back until after dark, so she threw in some (fast cooking) shrimp so we could eat as soon as we got back.
...because I love beautiful pictures of food.
