A couple of weeks ago, I was over in Adelaide for the Ozquilt Network Inc. AGM and opening of the Australia Wide Nine Exhibition. The following day we went to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens to see the Dale Chihuly glass exhibition. Chihuly is a famous artist from America and is most known for his wonderful glass work.

It was a lovely warm day and just perfect to wander around the gardens.

The glass sculptures were spread all around the gardens. There were also night time sessions where you could see the sculptures lit up. We walked around during the day, went out for dinner and then came back in the evening to see them under lights.
Here is one called the sun and underneath I have a photo of it with lights.

Here is another called Lime and Red by day and night.

My photos do not do them justice, I felt very inspired.
During the day, we had the lovely sunny weather and luckily the evening was still warm and there was music playing creating an exciting atmosphere.
We also walked around the city and saw the lovely jacaranda trees and had coffee in the heritage Adelaide Arcade.

We only had two days in Adelaide but we certainly made the most of it.
Bye for now,

I've always been fascinated by glass, even as a child. I remember there being a glass blower that came to our local fair every year and I'd stand and watch him for ages. Saved my allowance for months so I could buy one of his little pieces.
I only started to really appreciate glass blowing relatively recently after watching the Netflix Series Blown Away. Thanks Magpie Mumblings
