Waterford Crystal

 In 2007, I went to Ireland and while there I toured Waterford Crystal. I bought this small flower vase for a huge amount of money and because of it's worth to me, I have never used it or even taken off the label. It stays safe and sound in my dining room cabinet to be viewed from afar...ha! Well, imagine my surprise when I got it out to photograph and saw that it was made in Hungry. I am so disappointed although I know that part of Europe is known for it's crystal. Still, I thought that it was made in Ireland :-(

Vases



What else is there to do when it's only 11 degrees out? These vases were all my Mom's so I was thinking of her the whole time that I was shooting.
I had planned to go out today as the weather has warmed up to a balmy 20+ degrees but it is so gloomy. There is a particular stand of trees at one of the parks that I thought would look stark with the snow but I also wanted light and shadow....no light at all today. 
I will be taking some photos at my grandson's basketball game tomorrow and then I am trying to set up a shoot at the DIA for Wednesday. When we go to the art institute with our camera class it is always at night. We want to photograph the Rivera Court but on Fridays there are always concerts there. During the day we should have some great light for our photographs.
Hope that enjoy my "vases"

People Interpetation

These works of art that depict people in a variety of interesting ways are so imaginative....no wonder I'm not an artist.

 I love the shadows of both of these sculptures,,,,,,especially the little tree.
I promise that the next time I go to the DIA, I will read all the information about the art. Ha...maybe I can take a pictures of the information plaques.
