Any Chihule fan will immediately recognize his signature style in the two photos below.
But it is the purpose to which he puts each of his glass creations that continually delights. The YELLOW glass you've seen above is part of Chihule's Arbor installation at the Missouri Botanical Garden here in St. Louis.

Wow that's a lovely and unique creation. I wonder if it stays there all year long and not break on very hot or very cold weather. Here's mine http://www.mirasblog.com/2009/03/photo-hunt-11-yellow.html

I've certainly recognise the style despite not being able to retain the name in my head. Maybe once I see one of his creations "live"? I do like the (what looks to me like) spring onion design on closeup, but the third shot reminds me of golden bean sprouts. Or rays of sun. :)
Here's mine: my first participation in Photo Hunt!

Oh, how beautiful! My first question is, how do they protect that against harsh winters or wind storms? That is just gorgeous! MY hunt is up, come see what 65 looks like in some places of the world!

Yep - distinctively Chihuly. His work really works well outdoors in a garden. And perfect for the theme of Yellow.

I love Dale Chihule's work. I would KILL to own a piece. Sigh... one day. (I mean one day I will own one... not that one day I will kill for one...LOL!)

You're right, I recognized it as by the same artist as pieces I've seen elsewhere. But, I have never seen this art glass in such a setting. Wouldn't this be lovely with a huge background patchwork of tulip varieties?

Wow, cool shots! I've seen Chihule's work displayed here in NY, too. Great shots! I did yellow today, too! I hope you can come visit.

I didn't know they had Chihuly up at the Botanical Garden. I must go up there forthwith.
Oh, and I love your rendition of yellow, too.

Great photos! I have some photos of his work from the exibit came to SF. And here I worried that I would not have any yellow pics. So, I went for something else...

I just love these photos! It's been awhile since I've been there as I now live in TX so it's nice to see photos from there. :)
Mine is up...I'm just running behind visiting everyone else.
