Do Birds Like Glass Art?
While photographing the glass sculptures at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, I
happened to capture a snowy egret coming to investigate.

He gave it a close inspection, looking for food, I’m guessing.
When he didn’t find it he curled his long neck in, hunched up his
“shoulders” and I think I heard him say “Humph.”
And then he marched off.
I guess he’s not a Chihuly fan.

I think the glass boat would make a interesting fabric piece……I would love to have your permission to use it for a future project.

Hey Chris. I’m happy for you to use the boat image. However, a very similar image won Best of Show at the 2013 Houston show, if that makes a difference to you. (You can google it.)
I’ll be posting more Chihuly art photos, so you may prefer one of them.
Love this post. You are so clever. Was this bird trained??
Hey Sharon. Totally random. That bird was not the least bit scared of me, performing his inspection only a few feet away.
Ellen, what a fantastic picture with the crane flying in! I love Chihuly’s work, more so after seeing the big exhibit in Tacoma–worth a trip to the Pacific NW.
Yes, it’s wonderful, Martha, isn’t it? I especially like this garden installations.
Maybe I should have titled this post “Angry Birds.”
