    It is quite nice. I couldn't believe they were flowers on the building, but there they are.

    Il posto ideale per passare un weekend romantico. Mancano solo i fiori vivi sul terazzo.

    this is so pretty and I would have never thought I would see flowers like this on a building. It looks like a fairy tale. I am glad you enjoyed the Desert Wildflower Chihuly exhibit on my site. Everybody loves Chihuly. I will keep posting more of Chihuly over time.

    Ci passerei volentieri qualche giorno a riposare...
