In October we visited the Chihuly exhibit in San Francisco. Here is a summary of the sights, forms and lights that we saw on display. 

The music is one of my favorite songs by Ricky Tims off his Sacred Age Album, "Uptop." The album is available at the shop and you can click here to purchase it.

Click to play Block Test #3

These are a little harder.  Are you up to it?  The music is Nettleton off Ricky's Heart and Soul album.  For this great CD Click Here.

The Blocks are from the Collection of Susan Brooks and are date to the late 1800s.  Each block will show twice.  Try to guess the name right away and then the answer will show.  Yes there are often several names for blocks, so I used the ones that were on the wall of the exhibit at The Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California.

Did you get any of these?
