Sky Watch Friday - Missouri Botanical Garden

We took a road trip to St Louis last week for Fall Break. Our last day, while we were at the 150 year old  Missouri Botanical Gardens, the sun came out.

I think the glass is by Dale Chihuly, but I couldn't confirm it.

Check out Skywatch Friday for other views of the sky from all over the world.
