CHIHULY @ NY Botanical Gardens 4

Many of the pieces in the Hauptman Observatory were created to match the colors of the surrounding flora; like in the 4th shot. The attention to this details is as amazing as the work. It was very easy to walk past some of them as they blend in or your eye is caught by a more obvious piece. I wonder if it was as evident as his exhibition in St. Louis.

Located near the entrance to the rose garden is this blue alien landscape.

These beautiful pieces were featured in the Botanical Garden's greenhouse. You could almost swear they were growing. The sharp contrast between the insides and out are difficult to capture. Live viewing is a must.

When Photogs Attack

First the pack gathers and plans their attack.

Surrounding their helpless victim, their bloodlust rises.

They attack viciously and deep into their prey.

For some the carnage is too much to take.

Small groups splinter off in search fresh prey.

MMM...This Magnolia looks juicy.

After the Alpha-photogs are done the lessers are allowed to finish off the scraps.
