Dale Chihuly installation at Fairchild Garden

It's here for a second year, open daily through May; nighttime showings are on Thursdays. Gorgeous! If you need a better excuse than cold weather to visit Miami asap, this exhibition is worth the trip.

Is that an art-glass installation in your garden, or are you just happy to see me?

The iceburgs are my favorite. I'd like to have these around in August.

I went to a Chihuly exhibit a few years ago. Not much like what you've posted, except the third to last one. Many "chandelier" sculptures similar to that in all shapes and colors. Unbelievable.

As you can imagine, these erections take hours to assemble.

Frisbee golf and loose bulls are discouraged near the glass installations, especially after dark.

Wow!

That's what I said.

Iguanas are not the work of Mr. Chihuly. Neither are they fans of his work.

At the Phoenix Art Museum. They still have photos of some of the exhibition on their site. The most amazing one was a ceiling that you walked under. The photo so does not do it justice.

Spectacular. And just think - someone had to blow all of this.

Blowing them all doesn't amaze me nearly as much as wiring each of those pieces into place on those huge ones with all the arms.

(Walking through the gallery is probably the most carefully I've ever walked...I was terrified I'd trip )

I'm trying to put together some sports tournaments on the grounds to encourage more people to attend: softball, lawn bowling, skeet shooting, etc. The garden's board of directors are being obstinate.

I haven't seen the show at night yet. Bummer.

We had a huge Chihuly exhibit in Minnesota a while back, rooms and rooms, it was so cool. A big ceiling of ocean stuff, people were lying on the floor looking up at it, I was there for about a half hour doing it too.

The Belligio Lobby in Vegas is nice, but nothing as great as the ceiling installation the MIA had here.
