Chihuly, Well, Sort Of...

Sorry it took so long to post. I've been plagued with Cookie and firewall problems and I can't figure out how to upload any more photos.

Last month I took my mom and my friend Emily to the NY Botanical Garden in the Bronx to see an exhibit of the glass artist, Dale Chiluly. You may have seen his work in the hotel lobby of the Bellagio, or perhaps when you went to see the Utah Symphony. As much as I enjoyed the exhibit, which was spread across the entire park, I was distracted by blossoming lotus.






We went on a hot, sticky Saturday and did our best not to get heat exhaustion. The exhibit was sprawled out among the far reaches of the garden and was very beautiful, but I got a little sidetracked by the lotus flowers which were glorious in full bloom.
