Attention in the reflection pond prior to the lily pad blooms were balls of Chihuly glass. The Missiouri Botanic Garden is host to some of his colorful sculptures through the summer. Copyright 202 Pamela BreitbergAttention from the sculptures was weaned toward a duckling and mom. Babies always steal the show. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergStrikingly dominant is this piece of Chihuly art. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergMorning sunlight dazzled off the tips of this sculpture. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergAlways beautiful, the Chihuly additions add to the drama of the scene. Look in the middle of this scene, on the right side. There is a board that is partway in the water, allowing a walkway for the duckling to enter and leave the water. Ah! Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergFinding the Chihuly scupltures throughout the Gardens is almost like a treasure hunt. When in the right spot it’s impossible to miss. Learn more about this exhibit. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergI had to disagree with my dear sister, who thinks the art pieces distract from the Garden’s natural beauty. But that’s ok. I LOVE the vast gardens and natural walkways thoughout the gardens. And I always treasure my time here, with or without the Chihuly glasses. Shaw’s Garden, officially now the Missouri Botanic Garden, will always be special for me. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergSuch a tree! Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergChihuly pieces are designed to compliment nature. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergOk. I am distracted again by this baby taking a solo swim under the careful watch of its mother. Such is springtime sightings. Copyright 2023 Pamela Breitberg
