I deliberately chose the perplexing image of the water lily leaves and reflected sculpture for the first photo, because I was trying to portray Chihuly's unorthodox imagination and use of glass. I was hoping it would pique the curiosity of the people who saw the photo and maybe draw them in ~ without confusing them enough to turn them away. I'm always trying different things. And I was fascinated with the reflections myself. It was a magnificent day at the gardens.

If I ever get back to Seattle I'm going straight to the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum! I'll get to feast my eyes on his gorgeous installation in the lobby of the Bellagio in Vegas in just a few weeks though ~ and in his incredible store which is also in the Bellagio. I look at them every chance I get!

What yummy fun. Donnie had eighteen at her table in the Cove. Her husband Martin handled the cleanup while Donnie drove all the university kiddos back to Acadia and Dalhousie as well as an airport run for her daughter Krista. I think I'd have chosen KP duty myself over all that driving.<br /><br />Terry and I thoroughly enjoyed the Chihuly exhibit, and I have at least one more post in the works. It was truly something. I can look at art endlessly.<br /><br />Have a good week!

I am endlessly fascinated with how humans create art ~ and music and story. Creation is a fundamental part of who we are as humans ~ Tolkien's theory of sub creation. That's one of the things that breaks my heart about education in recent years, the trend to save money and time by cutting art, music, and p.e. to have more of both for more testing. We are slashing our souls in the process. Take care!
