New Beginnings (According to Google, flowers are defined as new beginnings). Chicago.

So today we started off simple. The gardens in Chicago are a huge tourist spot and one of the most beautiful parts of the area. Even though the weather has cooled down, the flowers are still bright and vibrant colors. The Botanic Garden sees approximately 900,000 visitors each year. That is so many people but my question is how did they get that number? Is there someone standing by the post counting the heads that walk in and out?
Since 1984, Garden curators and scientists have made plant collecting trips to all around the world from South Korea to our local backyards of southern Illinois. It was such a wonderful walk with bright colors and roaming smells from all over.

  1. so pretty. Didnt you take pictures of some tulips in the city the last time you were there? I swear I wanna go back but I think the only time I'll be able to go is in December :( By the way, I loved the pictures of the light posts and the moving cars you took the other night
