I live only 15 minutes from the Chicago Botanic Garden which oddly enough is not in Chicago but Glencoe Il. I had let my membership lapse for a few years but have rejoined and visited for the first time in 3 years this morning. This shot is of the great fountain in North Lake looking from the crescent garden to the fruit and vegetable islands. The structures across the waters are the arbors where grapes are grown. As you can see it is a beautiful day with a temperature of 70F. and gentle breezes off Lake Michigan which is only about 2 miles east of this spot.

A beautiful shot of the sky-rocketing fountain against the blue sky, Kathy. How fortunate to live so close to the botanical garden!

My son lives west of Chicago, and I visit him yearly. I will definitely have to suggest this for the itinerary!

Very refreshing-looking fountain against the blue sky. Nice one.

A spectacular view and capture, gorgeous colours and composition. Looks like a breath taking place and so spacious

Would like to go there some day, but went to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens just 13 days ago.
