chihuly y horchata - bien!

local friends, keep an eye on Alamance Arts! last year, they staged a photography exhibit (that i missed) of Leonard Nimoy's beautiful work ... this year, they've got Chihuly! count me in!
 happy to venture to my neighboring county
with friends to roam the rooms
full of Chihuly art -
both glass & paintings
 chandelier, left and right
 all pieces were from a private collection,
and we were allowed to take photographs
without ropes to hold us back.



seascape with seastar
seascape with (you guessed it) an octopus
seascape in foreground - chihuly painting & blown glass bottle stopper beyond
 enjoyed his more colorful pieces, as well.
and his paintings, which he does
to guide the design.



horns a'plenty











one of his few signed pieces ... can you see it?
 gorgeous vases, all around

this one puzzled me ... cherub squashed by a duck?
Graham is a small town,
but stellar reviews
led us to El Carbonero -
Salvadoran cuisine
that is cash-only
and worth it!
enjoy your visit!
