Thanksgiving has rolled around once again and for many the cold winter winds. So apart from stuffing your face with Turkey this weekend here is your chance to show the world your critical eye.
Yes, You can rise to the top among your fellow garden bloggers even though it might be to cold to plant anything.
How is that possible you ask. It is really quite simple but requires your participation. Here are four photos of contemporary glass art sculpture by the world famous artist Dale Chihuly. They were displayed at the Fairchild Tropical Gardens in Coral Gables Florida just south of Miami. All art is judged in the eye of the beholder so your part is to tell me what you think it is based on your life experience. In other words what do you see for 1,2,3, and 4.
Put your answers in the comment section below this post.
I will hold the comment answers until next week so you can't look at anyone elses until then { that means cheat}. Might be fun.

3. Sorry, I'm a nice girl. I can't say those things.
4. Oh, no! Someone saw my hair in the morning!
Hello Sanddune - well I took on your challenge, but not sure exactly what you are looking for here....
ReplyDelete1. Maybe it is the season, but this to me is easy, a christmas star - peace and joy to all.
2.This reminds me of a scary movie where a plant took over the world. dont know why. they look a little like worms, but not the good ones....
3. Very strange, and the clashing colours and textures distract me.
4. This looks fun and frivolous - a happy tree :)
1: pine cone
ReplyDelete2: earth worms
3: lilly pad and .....
4: tree of life
1. golden star
ReplyDelete2. a bunch of alligator tails
3. a cut off finger laid out on a leaf
4. a bunch of worms
1. looks like a spikey tree spider, ready to decesend.
ReplyDelete2. looks like shortened green neon earth worms coming out of the earth.
3. looks like a splash of a rainbow rain drop with a erect dog's thingy peeking out.
4. looks like a cosmic ball of energy and light exploding in crazy colors.

ReplyDeleteI'll play....the second one down looks like some kind of aloe or bromeliad, the one in the tree (#1) reminds me of tillandsia or pineapple top, and the third one looks like an anthurium. As for the last one...I have no idea...but whatever it is...I want it :-)
You didn't tell us how you interpreted them, Sanddune.
