I hadn't heard back from the person who was supposed to start Simon this week, and no one else stepped forward, so I thought I'd start off a new one now. Show me some glass, it could be any type. This is some etched glass from a window next to the front door of my in-law's house.

Chihuly..humm..my gallery image of his work comes from this very place but this is not his work. This is the glass flowers at the enterance to the Franklin Conservatory in Columbus, OH, USA.  Taken sometime in 2005.   Yes, I held back on the Chihuly stuff..lovely as it is. This is different and lovely to me.         Tom.

Tunde, you did not spoil the thread...break is the nature of glass. I like the shot.      Tom.

No worries awjay. We used to have the rules for the Forum events/contests posted up at the top of the page, perhaps I should see about getting them back...

No, this is from the QM now resting in Long Beach CA. I went on board a month or so ago.

Used my G6 supermacro mode and a flashlight (for backlight)  to capture the text off a bottle of Old Speckled Hen
