The Garfield Park Conservatory was the host for Chihuly in the Park - an exhibition of works by glass artist Dale Chihuly in an extravagant greenhouse setting.

Almost missing the whole thing, I luckily learned of its date of close the night before it would be gone from the Conservatory. I went on the last day of the extended exhibition and was very glad I did.

It was quite a stunning exhibition and I could say a lot about it, but I think I'll let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy!

You are here! Chihuly in the Park
   
   
  The first piece you see, large and blue.
Unfortunately, I forgot to adjust for backlighting on this one, but I did get a shot from the opposite side, which you'll see later.
These are just cool.
There were several of these flowers-in-vase type of pieces.
Neat shapes on these!
Beautiful silvery color!
This is the other side of the previously-mentioned piece.
  I just loved this setup. You'll find four shots of this from different directions.
 
  Number two.
 
 
Number three.
 
  Number four.
  Okay, so this is not a Chihuly, but I thought it a beautiful flower.
  Lillypad looking things!
  Cacti things!
  Also a natural flower, not a Chihuly glass. These were just so cool! I was afraid to touch them for fear they'd snap my finger!
  Another of the above.
