PhotoHunt: Free Week!

October 17, 2009

Where has the week gone?!?

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Free Week”

Wow! It’s a free week in the PhotoHunt and we can post whatever we like. Which is actually more of a problem, because, well, decisions decisions…

I’ve decided to take the opportunity to highlight several of my favorite photos from the Dale Chihuly exhibit at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, several years ago. I’m just going to concentrate on one piece in the enormous exhibit. The first photo is of the piece in its entirety, followed by close-ups of some of the details.




I fell in love with the colors in this piece. My only regret is that these have all been re-sized too small (in my opinion), so while you will get a much better view when you click on the photos, the experience won’t be as intense as I would have liked.

Happy weekend, everyone!

    If I ever get a chance, I'll visit the Dale Chihuly exhibit at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, and I'll spend the entire time thinking about you.

    I've seen his work in a couple different places. I always like it – the colors and the way it looks like something, whether it's a flower or a starburst, etc. I also like your spooky layout!
