Chihuly's Blue Flower Power

Similar to the flowers that line the ceiling of the ornate lobby at Bellagio in Las Vegas, these cobalt blue floral pieces come together to create one big Flower Ball!

"Chihuly Nights" of fire

Hidden among the beautifully landscaped gardens at Cheekwood, a set of tall thin glowing orange/red glass worms reached towards the sky.

"Sunset Boat" reflections

A sight so beautiful I had to post it twice. A close up shot of Sunset Boat and it's mirror image reflecting off the pond waters.

"Sunset Boat"

The cascading ponds were as still as could be on this night, as Chihuly's Sunset Boat remained afloat on its waters. One of my favorite art pieces we saw all night.

I'm Chihuly BLUE

These standing glass sculptures reminded me of beautiful blue birds standing in the swamp-like fountain waters, trying to remain hidden among the tall grasses. A beautiful blue glow of the glass in the moonlight.

Simplicity...Chihuly style

This yellow sculpture was one of my favorites, mostly because of its smooth lines and simplicity. It looked like it belonged there in the small fountain area outside the back porch of the Cheekwood mansion.

Chihuly... on fire!!

A ball of fire sits on the front lawn of the Cheekwood mansion. Cheekwood was the long time residence of the founders of Maxwell House coffee.

Tonight was my first time using my new tripod and I love it! Couldn't have captured shots without it!

Chihuly at Cheekwood...

Artist Dale Chihuly exhibits some incredible pieces of art at Cheekwood Botanical Garden in Nashville, TN. My mom is in town this week and we took a visit after dark; "Chihuly Nights" are unforgettable! It was a lot of fun, and very pretty!
