Chihuly at the Botanical Gardens

This morning I headed to the Botanical Gardens ( www.nybg.org ) to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit. I love things that make me feel like a little kid again and that is what this man's art does for me. When you enter the gardens and start to walk up the path all of a sudden you see "The Sun" at the reflecting pool. The flyer says that there are over 1000 pieces of glass in this installation. It weighs over 4,600 pounds. Looking at it you cannot imagine how it was placed in the pool but however they did it you are glad because it is spectacular. I enjoyed listening to the kids from different camps comment of this piece, they all were excited about it.
