Blue Herons in the Desert

At tthe Desert Botanical Garden

At the Desert Botanical Garden

I saw a different kind of blue herons today. Not the live ones I saw recently in the Ozarks, but blue glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Chihuly’s exhibit will be here until the end of May. Be sure and take a look if you’re in the area, but be aware–you need reservations to get in the gardens. Chihuly’s work is that popular!

Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.
