Hi
I have seen blogs before showing this incredible artwork. I will definitely go and see it if it ever comes to the UK. Thank you for such marvellous photographs showing it, the colours are superb.The reflections on the water are fantastic, many thanks, Jackie in UK.
Oh my, all of your pictures are stunning. Such unbelievable artistry. Gorgeous.
You asked what "tag". That is where someone tags you to answer questions about yourself.
Thanks so much for stopping by and your very gracious comments. I really appreciate it. Hugs, Marty
Oh, how I wish I lived close by. I would love to see this in person, although you have done a fabulous job capturing it inside and outside. How fantastic. I love his work. I would love those purple ones in my own garden and I would hang the chandelier in the entry too. How fun that you got to see it and thank so much for taking the time to blog about it. Hope you had a fabulous day.
That looks fabulous! I love the purple ones. very pretty. Thanks for showing us that! I would love you to come over and join me at my party! Thanks for stopping by.

We love his art. And are a big follower of his. It is especially pretty when placed in gardens.
I have added you as a Friend of Linderhof so I can keep up with new posts.
Isnt that just FANTASTIC! I watched a program with him on PBS and was enthralled but this is just gorgeous out in the garden.
thanks so much for sharing such beauty with us! I adore all of those designs.
I can't get over the pictures...such beautiful art. I never have seen his works..so thank you for sharing. Your blog is looking so cute.
I got to tell ya Savannah, my heart started to do a pitter patter as I saw todays post. We currently have a Chihuly exhibit very very similar at our local Art Gardens too. For a minute there I thought you had been close to me and hadn't stopped by. I love his work, I've seen both inside and outside exhibits and I am always amazed at his talent. Its just breathtaking. Thanks so much for sharing today.
Wow! That is a large Chihuly exibit! How wonderful to view all of that beautiful glass! I have seen a few of his artwork. They are awesome!!!
Beautiful! I haven't made it down to see it yet - but I sure want to! Thanks for sharing!
What a treat to see all that beauty,and in the garden, what a great stage for his work.
His work is beautiful - thanks for sharing your pictures of your visit to Cheekwood.

Hi lovely lady. I just put a new Tablescape on for my Husband and his Buddies ~~~ Can you take a look and tell me if you like it ?? I wish you had a way I can get back to you sweet lady.
I love, love, love Chihuly!!!!! The Columbus Museum in Columbus (GA) has some of his amazing pieces as well.
Now thats some group of artful display. Its just so unbelievably mystical. ya dont see that everyday. Well lets see, its been 45 yrs. now and the first for me! Very nice!
Dale Chihuly glass artwork is amazing. The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas has the most incredible glass ceiling in the lobby area by Dale Chihuly.
What a great opportunity for you to see his work in Nashville. Love the display of pieces floating in the pond :-) And your picture of the glass sun with the real sunbeams shining on it is awesome!
