We enjoyed a visit to the Desert Botanical Garden this evening. Not only was the garden beautiful but we were fortunate enough to be able to see an exhibit being shown there called "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass". As you can see from the pictures it was absolutely beautiful. It was hard to decide what pictures to use here because they were all so magnificent. The artist that made these sculptures is Dale Chihuly. He has his works in more than 200 museums around the world. This exhibit outside in a desert garden is a first for him. We could not figure out how in the world these sculptures could be moved without any breakage.
Even without the exhibit the Garden is wonderful. The smells from the wild flowers and the herbs that are all around were sweet and sensational. It started sprinkling rain while we were there and the temperature was in the lower 80's so it was a perfect Arizona evening to spend outdoors. We had a terrific time.
