    I originally went to get some photos at the rose garden which turned out to be about week past decent photo opportunities.

    I may try to visit the gardens on one of the few evenings that they illuminate the Chihuly art.
    Here are a few more of Dale Chihuly's work:

    Chihuly is an amazing artist. I had the chance to see his work at the Monterey
    Bay Aquarium. Also at the Belagio in Lost Wages.

    These shots are very nice. You've got the beauty of the swans down.

    Tony, you've captured the essence of Mr. Chihuly's artwork very well. We were lucky enough to see his exhibit at Chicago's Garfield Park Conservatory a few years back. Quite a sight, and I recommend to everyone to check it out if you can get the chance.

    There was a lot more behind closed doors and still under construction. I'm trying to decide if I should make another daytime visit when the show officially opens or try to catch one of the few evening showings when much of his work will be lightedne_nau.gif

    It would be worthwhile to see his pieces lit. If I may, "Jellyfish":
