I took these photos several years ago, when Chihuly's famous glass artwork graced the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ. I don't know if they bring to mind any meaning of larger significance, other than being beautiful. Maybe just the miracle of our human ability to find ways of illuminating and enlivening the dark with color. We have what is given to us; what we do with what we have determines its significance and worth (and realizes our potential).
