Park Magic

Chihuly-7502Chihuly Exhibit at Cheekwood Botanical Garden in Nashville, TN in 2010

There is something magical about visiting parks and communing with nature. I especially love visiting parks that have a significant focus on nature, education and conservation- the botanical gardens and arboretums. I try to go whenever there is a new exhibit at the ones nearest me.

Artistic installations that enhance the beauty of their surroundings (and themselves through their surroundings) are always worth the visit!

A few examples I have been fortunate enough to see:
