Flowers and Glass

Wow, I have finally done something other than sit at home or go to the pub. Last night, Sally and I went to Kew Gardens to see the Orchid Festival - http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/orchids/ . She had a couple of invites through work. It was really nice to see it privately when it was not too crowded. Getting a free glass of wine and eating teeny weeny canapes wasn't too bad either!

They are planning an exhibit of glass work in the spring and there was a fantastic sculpture of the sun. It was stunning. It must have been 15 feet tall. This is a volcano installation of his that will give you an idea - http://www.chihuly.com/installations/franklin/index.html Fabulous.
