Amazing Pictures at The Chicago Botanic Gardens

Music by Taylor Swift - "Mean"There's times we all have days

What started off as a very sad day filled with losses, ended up being an amazing day photographically.  

Instead of retreating I went out with my camera to see if I could use my camera lens to refocus on the beauty the world has to offer.  I ended up having one of the best photographic days in a very long time.

I started off stopping by Tower Beach in Winnetka and ended up at the Chicago Botanic Gardens in Northbrook, IL.  Hope you enjoy the show.

How I wish I could be in Hawaii, yet if you just use your imagination with these pictures you can almost feel the warmth of the sun.

Had the chance to wander around the Chicago Botanic Gardens.  I can go here a zillion times and every time I go I can find something new and interesting
