The next set of pieces in the pool are here in the center and I was really taken by the selection and color combination. There were the creamy oranges mixed with the yellows and greens. It's almost as though these pieces exploded out of the water to bloom in the sun. Enjoy!

About the series
This series of shots were taken on 10-22-2010 at Cheekwood Botanical Garden. Dale Chihuly, world renowned glass artist, was having a garden exhibition where he installs pieces into the gardens to enhance the appeal of both the gardens and his work. This is the fifth Chihuly exhibition that I've gone to and the fourth that I've been able to shoot. I really enjoy the mixture of the glass and the gardens, and it makes for great photo opportunities.
"I love to juxtapose the manmade and the natural to sort of make people wonder, is it manmade or did it come from nature? That's a very important part of my work."

I'm well outside my comfort zone today.....
I nearly deleted this shot when I downloaded Sunday night's pictures to the laptop. But there was something about it that I found appealing. It's a shot of the sun setting over Earlswood Lake and I was trying out that 'zoomy' thing where you shift the zoom as you're shooting. Maybe someone can tell me if there's a better, more technical term I should be using :))
Part of the common and the ministract sets.
Hiya everyone!
Here's another upload from yesterday's shoot. I probably didn't get around telling you all that the idea of using an umbrella initially came to me because it was a pretty glum and cloudy day yesterday.It wasn't cold, as you'd expect winter to be; just a rather dull looking average day. Anyway, this idea, once again, has been inspired by Boy Wonder. I don't know why, but some of my recent uploads have leaned a bit towards the type of work he does. (Let me take this opportunity to tell you, he's absolutely brilliant!). I sure hope I was able to do him some justice =)
ps: I know I should have found a more open space to do this, but there's no meadow or usable field here in my part of the town, and this take was pretty impulsive. So i had to make do with my roof top =)
went to my studios rooftop and found this beautiful sunset, unusual during this season, just when I pointed my camera; the crows started flying all over. Probably they felt threatened.....Thanks to the crows...ha ha!

Had a friend to help me with this, to pop some refresher sweets in and watched it pop, pun intended ;)
My other boo.
You see the little twinkle in his eyes? That's not mommy love, that's a sweet light kit Curtis surprised me with today.
So, for now, our living room is no longer for living, but my brain is already exploding with ideas.
The possibilities are closer to endless than ever before!
