This museum was certainly artistically designed in many ways - and your photos are again, very special. :-)
Beautiful glass sculpture combined with exotic botanical, Cher. Click on Furnace Design Studio and Planterra Conservatory for more info.
Yes, Jen, a delightful exhibit. Wish you lived near. So much to see ... so much to shoot. Like Monica, you would have so enjoyed not only the stunning exhibit but quality time with me :)
Yes, yes, yes, dear Tyra! I'm more than ready ... bring it on! Wish you lived near ... I would have so enjoyed sharing the event, actually any event, with you. Happy April, dear friend :)
Thank you kindly, Shirley. It was indeed lovely.
So I have heard, Malinda. Welcome and thank you. Happy April :)
Fortunate it was near, Dee. Both Monica and I thoroughly enjoyed the lovely shared afternoon. I am making note of Clara and Mr. Tiffany ... right up my alley. I have lots of treasured stained glass in my home. Happy April gardening :)
Thank you, dear Shady. As many have mention, Dale Chihuly glass works is amazing ... a must on my list to see. Happy April :)
Happy to see you and indeed it was, One. So much to see ... a true delight.
The glass art looks like Dale Chihulys. Love his work.
Not too late, Zoey ... exhibit on until 4/3. Worth the trip .. run down ... :) BTW ... how's the snow? We are heading up north tomorrow ...
That's what everyone says, Patsi. So, happy April gardening, fun friend :)
How fun to have you beside me with our cameras, Kala! Great fun :)
A lovely day, Clare, and delighted it was near and able to incorporate it in our upside/down life. Happy April :)
Happy Spring Joey! I hope you've had a bit of warm weather there?
