Chihuly at the Denver Botanic Gardens

       I recently visited the Botanic Gardens in Denver, Colorado.  I went to see the special exhibit by Dale Chihuly.  I have never really been a fan of his glass sculptures when I saw them in art galleries.  I always felt like if you've seen one you've seen them all.  But seeing Chihuly's glass sculptures at the gardens has completely changed my mind. 
     This exhibit was so beautiful it took my breath away!  When the glass pieces were placed among the plants it gave them a context that I did not experience before.  It was as though the glass became a part of the gardens.  Some pieces looked like they were actually growing out of the ground.  I had a great time walking around looking at the pieces and I will always remember this experience.
