Mosaic Monday: Dale Chihuly Glass Tour



Tacoma is home to the internationally-known
Museum of Glass and its glass bridge is an homage
to Dale Chihuly, featuring a large glass installation.



Dale Chihuly is a  Tacoma favorite son 
and many of his creative conceptions 
grace museums and other buildings in the area.

The Tacoma Art Museum is the proud owner of 
a significant collection of Chihuly glass, for example.



You even can do a walking tour of Chihuly glass 
in downtown Tacoma using your cell phone
to hear information about the pieces on display 
in various public and private sites.



So I thought I'd treat you to a blog tour of my own,
featuring the works of Dale Chihuly on public display
at the outdoor bridge of glass.



All you have to do is look up.


I'll give you fair warning:
if you're there



up close and personal



you can get a stiff neck
in no time flat.

Sepia Saturday: The Nez Perce

My grandfather, whose childhood years were spent in Wallowa County, Oregon, recalled that when he was a child, he used to see members of the Nez Percé tribe in the area, their summer hunting grounds. You may or may not know that the Nez Percé   had been granted reservation lands in 1855  by the Washington Territory's  territorial governor, Isaac Stevens.  The land reserved for the tribe encompassed  their traditional hunting lands,  including the Wallowa Valley.  But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found,  the incentive to honor that treaty diminished. The Nez Percé were offered a much smaller reservation centered around Lapwai, Idaho with schools,  a hospital and financial rewards.  In exchange, they had to cede their hunting lands.  Some of the tribal chiefs agreed,  but Chief Joseph (1840 - 1904) refused.  Unable come to an agreement with the U.S. government,  the non-treaty bands were thr...
