Botanical Gardens and Butterfly Pavillion
Beloved Blogreaders, we saw an Herb Garden, Mediterranean Garden, Picante Garden, Wildlife Garden, Medicinal Garden, Sensory Garden, Tea Garden, and Culinary Garden!
While I was in Phoenix, the Botanical Garden included the amazing art of a glass blower, Chihuly. In most cases you will know what it is art and what is nature. In a few cases, it was hard to tell.
Below is a chandelier:
Below, the cactus may be glass. But I'm really not sure now.
Below, note black and white butterfly:
Below a bromaliad. So beautiful.
Below, three Godwriters on the town. Teresa, the 4th, was taking the photo.

Emilia, finally, this is the dress I wore the first day of the workshop.

Fantastic Gloria! Your dress was fresh and very appropriate for you, you could add to the outfit a long modern necklace with bigsized stones or a white pashmena scarf. Forgive my weakness for fashion, but I am italian after all! I find than when humans'art and craft melt with nature we can have wonders. Plants and glass together are wonderful and the blue glasses have captured my imagination. I have to find out something more about this artist. All artists are messagers of God.
Oh, yes, artists are messengers of God!
I love your idea of a long necklace with big-sized stones.
You must be an artist with fashions, Emilia!
Might you like to a guest entry for this blog on fashion?
Are you serious Gloria ? It would be an idea! We are two for the moment and I fear we will remain two. We represent the fashionable side of God.
I am serious. I already learned something from you!
I also started thinking that those who are into gardening could share photos and give us tips.
Cooking.
Yes, and represent the fashionable side of God, gardening, cooking...
Lovely photos ... how wonderful that you were able to see this in person. I happened across a documentary on this artist and his incredible glass blowing studio showing how these pieces come into being and the many gifted artists working for him to create these beauty.
BTW, guest blogs on fashion, gardening, cooking, art, etc. from the Godly people here would be WONDERFUL.

I like these pictures of the glass objects in gardens, Gloria, wonderful colours and wonderfully fitting with the flora over there. As the gardenseason starts again over here I love to visit places where they combine nature and wonderful art. A wise man from the East once said that gardening is a hobby you have for all of your life. Wonderful gardens filled with flora, fauna and art objects, remind one of paradise, I guess.
