Those who know me know of my fondness for glass art. It is no surprise, then, that I am partial to several pieces of public art on the Marywood campus with colored glass elements. The finest, in my opinion, is the one in figure 1. I do not propose to try to interpret the work here; rather, I offer the general view to contextualize two more interesting images of the glass inserts I took recently.
On Thursday we had good light, and as the sun grew closer to the horizon I was able to catch two of the glass elements precisely backlit. The larger of my subjects is a great blue lens with streaks and bubbles from its creation (figure 2). The framing material looks a little like a squirrel, or lizard, in silhouette.
The other subject is a fiery amber-colored plug with a doo-dad extending out from it (figure 3).

Good use of technical nomenclature: doo-dad
