Chihuly at the Dallas Arboretum


Yesterday I went on a little photo taking excursion with my writing group.  From now until mid-Fall, the Dallas Arboretum is displaying glass sculptures by artist Dale Chihuly.  As a novice photographer, I found that while they are brilliant to behold, they were a bit overwhelming to shoot in their entirety.  So, I narrowed my focus to more intricate parts of the pieces.  Here are few of those photos.

Dallas saw a bit of rain the night before we went, so everything was dripping wet.  It made for some very nice effects.

These violin scrolls were my favorite pieces of the day.

  1. Beautiful work! (of course). I’m a little overwhelmed by all the photos I have (and by the beauty of the exhibit). I’m not sure how I’m going to present them in my blog.

    I think it will be interesting when all is said and done (and uploaded) to look at how differently we all saw the same thing.

    1. I took a ridiculous amount of photos, too. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.

      You’re right. We all look at things so differently. It should be awesome.

Leave me a comment. I'd love to hear what you think.
