While in New York this September I had the opportunity to see Dale Chihuli's exhibit CHIHULI, at the NY Botanical Gardens. The dramatic blown-glass art pieces were installed amidst the garden's landscapes and inside the glass domed conservatory. The pieces took inspiration from the natural world, but at the same time amplified the color and movement of the organic forms.

The NY Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places of all time. Having gone to Fordham University, which sits directly across the street from the garden entrance, I would take the opportunity to see the landscape as it changed over the seasons and appreciated the calm oasis it offered in the midst of the Bronx bustle. My all time favorite is visiting in the spring, when tulips of all colors create a riot of blooms in the big front lawn of the white and glass conservatory.
