I'm off to my annual trip to Oklahoma.
The flight was frightening as we took off in a thunderstorm.
Actually saw lightening once in flight.
Are they suppose to take off in such circumstances?!
Anyway, what would a trip to OK be without (yet another) stop at the Art Museum?
Above is the large sculpture Dale Chihuly designed.
I may have told you before, his wife is from OK,
so he dedicated a permanent exhibit here.
Sweet, eh?
These purple glass rods are implanted within the real tree log.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
This is another favorite. It looks like the giant flowers in "Whoville"by Dr. Seuss.
This is a lovely sculpture of Cherubim and a dove
Who knows what this is? Just thought is was different
from Chihuly's other pieces.
A classic example of Chihuly's bowls, or clamshells
The gorgeous hallway with the glass art in the ceiling.The ceiling at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was done this way
by Chihuly also
This chandelier is designed by Chihuly, and made withWaterford crystal....Nice
Have to take a trip to the Museum's store.You can buy a small Chihuly bowl for $6000
Any takers?!
We stopped by the Museum cafe and had tea and dessert.I had Creme Brulee while my sister (holding cup) had
3 samples of homemade ice cream and a crispy cookie.
On the way home, we stopped by the Memorial.It's very well done and moving.
I spent a lot of time with my sister and her family, including a niece and nephew. We laughed and carried on like only sisters can!
