All thanks to you for your warm birthday wishes.
My wife and I spent a marvelous afternoon strolling though a show of the superb work of Dale Chihuly, the leading pioneer in today's development of glass as a fine art. The show's venue is particularly striking, for the works are not displayed standing alone: they play off of a naturalistical setting amid the plants in Chicago's conservatory in Garfield Park.
It is truely a stunning exhibit, which I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting our city.
To view a few of the works
in situ, see the conservatory' site at
http://www.garfield-conservatory.org/index.html, and then click to "Chihuly in the Park". For far more, run though the various sub-pages of Chihuly's site at
