The photohunt theme this week is glass. I love to watch glassblowing and I wish I had been into photography back when I have been places where I watched the artist/craftsman demonstrate glassblowing. Since I don't have any photographs of that I decided to photograph some of my colored glass.
First I took my blue glass vase outside and took pictures of it beside various flowers, that I was considering for an arrangement. I like the way the shot above shows how dark the blue glass vase is in certain light.
I took the second shot after I had picked the flowers and I like the way it shows how translucent the glass is in a certain light.
Once I got the vase filled with freshly cut flowers inside, I took a picture of it next to two different sizes of rose colored wine glasses I have.
The last shot is of my wine colored glass decanter with a couple of cordial glasses.I am looking forward to seeing what others are doing with the glass theme. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am posting very early, even for me, because we are due to have thunderstorms, beginning this afternoon and on through Saturday. If I take a while visiting, it will be because I have shut down my computer to be safe from the boomers.

Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

Your colored glass is beautiful and so are your pictures!! I only have plain glasses and decanters, love your colored ones!
Hope the thunderstorms are kind to you. Happy weekend, dear Carver!

You have some great shots for the theme. I was at a loss but after looking at your post my eyes have opened up to all the glass around me :)
Thanks so much to everyone for your comments and for visiting my PH post. I appreciate it.
For-AbbeyDog, your human-mom K. has told me you are afraid of thunderstorms. Don't worry you didn't hurt my feelings for forgetting that humans don't have long tails like you do. To be blunt, if I try to hide under my bed my rear end would probably be visible too, although not long and skinny like your beagle tail.
Lovely shots! I love flowers.... mine's up hope you can drop by.
lovely colored glasses! thanks for visiting my site.
those are pretty shots.
happy weekend carver!
Love your creativity. And a glass vase with flowers is a pretty sight.
Happy hunting.
Great shots showing the contrast :-)
Verrrrrry nice! I love the different looks too -- you would hardly guess that they were the SAME vase!
I actually ALMOST did use pictures from when I visited the corning plant and actually made my own "pulled glass" flower -- but since I already did a whole humongous post on that back when I did it, I decided to go with something different for this!
GREAT choices Carver!
I love the blue glass. I love the curve and I love the colour!
Tulips! Lovely! Ooopsss I was supposed to se glass right? =D Great choice, a blue one! Thanks for sharing the tulip photo, Iveyet seen yellow here, no red yet. Happy hunting!
nice sequence. colored glasses are better than the regular ones. it modifies the color of the liquid in it.
Those are lovely glass, pretty flowers too. Nice choice for this week :)
Have a great weekend!
The blue vase with flowers stand out in the garden:)
How are your walks this week? :) Hope you're benefiting in all the wellness of it. Stay good, feel good! ♥
Carver, your vases look great. Nice set of photos :)
Have a great weekend!
Love the blue vase Carver and you took some great shots with the flowers. Have a great weekend, stormless I hope.
Wow, I envy you already having flowers--we don't even have buds yet. Beautiful shots!
I love the vase that looks different in different kinds of light. I love how you displayed it and photographed it.
those are gorgeous glasses! :)
wow ... love the shots!
happy hunting!

You have some beautiful glass pieces! :) Have a great weekend!
I LOVE Springs and its flowers!!
Love the blue grass!
Nice shots! Happy Hunt and Happy Weekend! I put one up on my regular blog and on my other blog
those glass are wonderful!

This is a great idea to show a glassware being used at so many locations and also on how light will affect the changes in colors. Great work Carver :)

I have a glass decantor like your but only 3 glasses. 1 got broke in the move.
I love that blue tinted glass!
Lovely colored glasses and lovelt photos!
Have a nice weekend!
Interesting how the blue glass transformed under different conditions ~ nice series. Enjoyed the vibrant Spring blossoms too!
I never seen glassblowing too, but I guess it must be interesting~!
Happy hunting~~
I love that vase. Great shots Carver!
I like the blue glass too. Putting my my white color desk will be great !
Yeah, I too wish that I had been more into taking photos when I got to see glassblowers at work. Don't know about you but my photo taking has increased exponentially since I started blogging! ;b
Bluetiful.
You've showed the different levels of translucency very well. There are such good photographers on Photohunt (I'm not one: mine are very basic) who can be really creative.
Great blue vase! I like it a lot!
It would look great with a dim light.
Happy hunting!
Great layout!
Wow! How cool that it "changes" colors like that! Very creative, Carter.

Nice way of showing your coloured glass.
Have a great weekend. Hope the storm isn't as bad as you think it will be. Looks like the weather is bad everywhere! and not only here in Holland.
I love the first one! I particularly love it because it has a TULIP in the shot. I LOVE tulips.
(Can I say "love" any more times? Hmmm...)
I love the way your blue vase looks so different in different lights and situations.
The wine glasses are beautiful, but I absolutely love the decanter and cordial glasses - such a rich colour.
What lovely pieces of art!
Good idea to present the glass vase besides flowers !
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. I am enjoying seeing what everyone comes up with for the glass theme.
The first shot is my favorite. pretty blue glass.
thanks for visiting our photohunt
Very lovely photos, Carver. The blue glass vase is just beautiful - and so are your flowers. Stay safe in those storms. We have been having typical summertime thunderstorms, too, and expect them to fire up again this afternoon.
Thanks for stopping by the creek - blessings on your weekend and week to come.
Pretty vase! My favorite vase is blue glass, too :)
Happy weekend!
Lovely glass objects! The glass vase is a wonderful shade of blue and looks beautiful with the flowers!
You have some pretty glassware. I especially like the blue vase, as I have a fondness for blue glass. Have a great weekend!
I would love a blue glass on my table - with a tulip in it. It will be awesome (= happy weekend (=
That was a lovely treat - so many beautiful colors and sights!
Have a great weekend.
I take it you like glass things then...
What a nice idea outside and inside! the flowers are so colorful!
Your flowers are blooming beautifully! I love the colour of your coloured decanter and wine glasses.
Be brave when the thunderstorm comes!
Those glasses are absolutely beautiful, Carver! :D
I love blue glass and the shape of that vase. It's really quite amazing how much it changes in appearance depending on the light. All the pictures are ceautiful.
I hope you aren't affected badly by the thunderstorms. We're expecting some unseasonal snow overnight or tomorrow, but nothing too extreme.
I didn't play this week....but I love your choice for the theme....I love blue glass...and I enjoyed how you displayed yours....hope you have a great weekend....
Thanks again to everyone for visiting and commenting on my PH post. Happy weekend!
I love your blue vase.
I love blue glass too - I didn't even think of photographing mine today! All your photos are terrific!
Displaying colored glass in gardens is really a neat way to show off their colors. I love how that vase shows off the stem of the flowers. Great post.
I love the blue glass with the tulips.
I collect blue glass and love the way it looks in light. Very nice use of glass.
well done. I love that you took it outside. so cool.
happy weekend.
