Dale Chihuly is an internationally know artist whose medium is glass.  Al sizes, all colors, all shapes.  Some subtle, some even bizarre.  Currently, there is an exhibit of his work in the Dallas Arboretum.  Here, hundreds of his glass “shapes” are installed as a complement (and sometimes as a contrast) to the plants.  His works are scattered throughout the 66 acre arboretum.

The exhibit is immensely popular.  Even though the dates have been extended twice, it is always busy.  And the night time exhibits — when the glass is lit up — has been sold out every evening.  No matter when you go, you’ll find it busy — and many people carry some pretty darn impressive photo gear!

We managed to get in one night, and in the daytime twice.  I took different cameras just to compare them, it is a great place to take pictures.  Below is an album of some of the images I took, ending with some flowers… after all, it is an arboretum!
