Now you can see more of the glass art piece by Chihuly from which the close-up of yesterday's photo was taken. This installation is called "Mirrored Mexican Horns." The glass art is interspersed rather nicely among the prickly pear and surrounding cactus.
The translucent pink glass seems to be reaching for sunshine, just like cactus do. Chihuly captured this attribute of cactus (i.e., always growing and moving towards the sunlight) very well.

I have to agree. The artist has captured natures forces very well.
An interesting and strange symbiosis of art and cacti.
Looks like a ghost peeking up on the right.
It's very nice. I especially like that bright green color!
You really do capture that mirror effect.
Looks like setting this one up may have been "sticky" business.
Amazing...it takes some real skill to create glass artwork like that!
I've got so see some of his work some day.
Interesting art exhibit. It must have been tricky placing the glass among the cactus without drawing any blood.
You do such a great job of capturing Chihuly's art! Well done!
I love the idea of the Mexican Horns reaching for the sun. I am always turning my cactus in the garden because of this aspect of the cactus reaching for the sun.
Gorgeous combination and composition!
