Contrast – Desert and Glass

This image was made at the Desert Botanical Garden during the Chihuly in the Garden exhibit that was held from November 10, 2013 through May 18, 2014.  Such a contrast of desert and glass in this image.  The Scartlet and Yellow Icicle Tower by Dale Chihuly and a saguaro cactus and the moon.

Between the Ferns

This lupine flower was reaching for the sunshine between the ferns along the West Fork Trail.

Unfortunately, due to the Slide Fire, the trail is still closed until inspection is complete.  I am anxiously awaiting for the trail to re-open to the public.
