Visiting the garden itself is a treat, the Chihuly glass made the afternoon spectacular.

I’ve seen other photos of the Chihuly artwork in the gardens. Most of the photos I’ve seen were taken in the evening, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Arriving for our designated time slot of 4-8 p.m., we were delighted to see the late afternoon sun play on the beautiful glass in ways that made it glow naturally.

The exhibit runs through May 31st, with three 4-hour showings per day. Make your reservations. The parking lot was packed, and the gardens were full of people enjoying the warm, sunny weather.

A few of my photos from “The Nature of Glass”:
