Chihuly Blown Glass - Arizona Desert Botanical Garden

This morning the weather was absolutely beautiful so we took the kids to the blown glass exhibit at the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. Jenna, Hunter, Emmalee, Sarah, Jill and I were amazed at how beautiful and big these pieces are. It was fun getting out and playing with my camera again. It has been too long! I even got a great shot of a hummingbird! The kids even seemed to enjoy our outing!
