Chicago Botanic Garden: Late Summer, Early Fall


The Rose In... Fall

We went to the Chicago Botanic Garden again yesterday to catch the last of the late summer flowers. There's a touch of fall in the air already as there are dried fallen leaves crushed to dust in the parking lot, so the scent of autumn rises up with every step. The roses were at their peak, and there were huge clumps of bushy asters and big yellow Black-Eyed Susans. Also, lots of water lilies, only just beginning to fade, and in the bulb garden area the zinnias and dahlias were like huge flaming torches.

The title link will take you to my Botanic Garden photo album, where I've just re-worked things so there's a Winter, Spring, Late Summer gallery. I think I've got some more photos stashed from other visits in various areas of my drive(s) so as I fix them up, more galleries will be added.

I'm also hoping to add a couple of personal galleries for church photos, which are currently scattered all over and hard to find for my website activities, and another one for just plain wacky photos that can't be categorized.

Please enjoy.

I like rocks. I come from the redrocks country, so I especially like these rocks.

Look Out For That... Tree


David's wanted to get a Jeep for years. I think... maybe not the kind of Jeep that ends up looking like this.

The "World Famous 4 Wheeling Museum" is in Moab, Utah. I'd like to return to Moab again and take pictures of lots and lots of different 4-wheeling rigs. Some of them end up looking even more raffish than this, and they're still driving around. Posted by Hello
