Where did you take all those flower pictures? Those are are excellent! I'm realizing it's been a number of years, since I'd last been to the Chicago Botanic Garden. I should do a revisit to the Garfield Park Conservatory and/or Lincoln Park Conservatory(though I prefer Garfield Park for whatever reason), as well. I've kept thinking maybe I should visit the Oak Park one too, since I was very, VERY late as heck in discovering Oak Park had their own conservatory!

Allan - I take all my photos from my recumbent trike, so I never get off my ride. It is October, and I am down to three sites that still have flowers: The corner of Buena and Sheridan has a planter, the Peace Garden at Buena and Marine and a community garden at Diversey and Marine. Although I do not take photos, the Chicago Botanic Garden, Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Oak Park one (I grew up there) are all wonderful places to spend a few hours. Thanks for thee kind words. - Gene

Gene, you take great pictures and I do appreciate them, but have you considered starting your own "Gene's Photo Journal" thread? You've kind of taken this one over and its hard to find other posts not related to your photos in the long scroll. Just a thought.
