This is another possible for the contest. It was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden of a small walking path along side the lake and the floating lotus garden. This one has double paths in it, as across the water on the left, is a small footbridge which is part of the path to the Conifer Garden, Waterfall Garden and Japanese Islands. This was shot directly into the light as it was morning and I was facing southeast.

A beautiful and serene scene very well captured Kathy. Nicely composed and showing details clearly overall.

Composition is really nice on this. My son lives outside of Chicago in Peoria...I think I will make this garden part of my next trip!

The choice is up to you, Kathy. I like to say however that it will be very hard to decide which one. To me it's like comparing apples with oranges: different colors, different taste, but both delicious, as of these images, my friend.
Wish you wisdom and Good Luck!

Both are so nice, but in my opinion, I like the first one best of the two, but the choice is yours my friend. tigs=^..^=

agreed with Tigs my friend. kathy, i remember taking that walk with you...via Caedes. i believe you have more, better and interesting ones, i cant remeber which..just a feeling from all the different sights seem within the gardens. dont cut yourself short.

however, i do like this shot. just for the contest of paths? sorry my answer would be no. you can atleast always count on honesty with Stylo. I know you of all people with your garden ones should have a great entrie. best of luck to you.

This looks like the place to gather a lifetimes worth of Foofy Friend images.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
