What a lovely weekend at the Chicago Botanical Gardens. Everything smells wonderful, the air is so fresh. It is such a nice alternative to polluted city air. My fiance and I love nature and our little inside joke is that we use that term to describe everything. When there is a caterpillar on the path, I scream "Don't step on nature!"
A happy little purple martin pair at the colony.
Pretty forget-me-nots. They are really tiny, this shot was taken with a macro lens about an inch away.
