4th, Alonzo, Rhonda, Michael, André, Kelly, and I drove in a van to Omaha, NE for the last day of the Chihuly exhibit at the Joslyn Museum of Art.  This is the second time that I've had the privilege of witnessing Dale Chihuly's awe-inspiring beauty in glass form.  Below you will see the pictures that I took with my digital camera (yes, they let me take pictures!).  I have also altered the pictures in Photoshop since I feel the true beauty comes through with a black background, like a diamond on black velvet.  Please enjoy the eye candy!</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP
