Famed glass sculptor Dale Chihuly created these gracefully sinuous leaves, and displays them adjacent to a stand of saguaro cacti. This example of art imitating nature is but one of the many Chihuly glass works placed on exhibit throughout the vast Botanical Garden. I did not have my regular camera with me that day, so I used my iPhone camera to make this image. I later converted the image to black and white to abstract the scene, making it seem more magical and less real. The light playing on the glass leaves creates a mystical glow, a counterpoint to the shadowy and spiny live saguaros in the background. By contrasting the differing textures and forms, I blend art with nature -- the very purpose of the Chihuly exhibition itself.
