Chihuly Glass at the Dallas Arboretum

Over Christmas break, I got the chance to see a really cool art display.  Dale Chihuly makes some incredible glass structures.  I was first exposed to his art in seventh grade when we went on a day-long field trip to see his glass at the Milwaukee art museum.  A couple weeks ago, I went with some of my family to the Dallas Arboretum, which temporarily had tons of Chihuly glass interspersed throughout the park.  I was pretty impressed - I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the bizarre, abstract art intermixed with the usual trees and plants and things.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our morning:













I also got a chance to see a number of Texas birds I'd never seen before, including this tufted titmouse:

    There's also Chihuly glass at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I love having it to look at there since I'm not at the clinic for fun.
