when I flipped my Chihuly calendar to May, I was reminded of our wonderful visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden a few years ago to see the Chihuly Installations…

the picture is a tower and reminded me of the tall yellow one where we had a picture taken by some people walking by, lol… my daughter had taken a few pictures for them just before that… it was also one that lit up at night…

I dug through old photos and found a few of my favourites from that trip…

the goddess was the reason for the trip and we spent a fair bit of time at that installation…

of all of Chihuly’s pieces, I am always most drawn to the blues… from the very first ones I saw at Chihuly Garden and Glass… here is a blog I wrote about that amazing experience…

lovely memories… wondering what might be next…

today I got to drive my new car to work for the first time…

flowers were the first thing that got carried in the car… how lovely is that;-)…

I’ve been contemplating her name for a while now… depending on the light the colour moves from blue to purple…

spent some time checking out purple-ish names… had fourteen on my list but the ones that resonated the most were

amethyst – orchid – periwinkle – indigo

in the end Indigo was the winner… it is described as a colour between blue and purple…

she will go by Indi;-)… suits her…

this morning I got to have the chocolate cupcake that I didn’t have last night…

it went very well with my new purple and blue mug;-)… and was tasty… just read an article saying chocolate cake in the morning is good for you…

at the end of the day got this shot of the clouds…

lovely to look at, and maybe, the first blue sky we’ve seen all day…

I’ve just taken this shot of the moon and deep blue sky over the neighbour’s house… I was expecting a better quality picture because of the newer phone, but maybe I  need to do a bit of reading on this…

the sky has been very interesting over the last few days…

yesterday as I was waiting for my ride to aquasize got this shot…

it looked really bad but there wasn’t any rain coming down when we got out of the pool…

we could use some rain to clean up the dust but I would prefer that it rain during the night, lol…

today I caught a few pictures of some cool looking clouds as I made my way home…

now the sky is a beautiful blue without a cloud in sight…

lovely morning spent going through my new Chihuly book admiring all the gorgeous glass chandeliers and remembering my visits to Seattle and Atlanta… 

of all the installations I always lean toward the blue ones… although this mauve one kind of caught my eye…

I’ve followed his work for many years, after being introduced to it by my older daughter…

my first live view of his work was in Seattle on our way home from our Alaskan cruise… it was a stellar way to end the trip and we actually met Dale while we were wandering around Chihuly Garden and Glass…

this past June we went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for a Chihuly exhibition… my favourite there was the boat and spheres with this goddess…

the book was a lovely treat from a friend who had recently been to a city that had some Chihuly installations and while she was there she had the chance to see a few of the pieces as well…

if you have the opportunity to see any of his work in person I strongly recommend you take the time to check it out… 

amazing…
