Chicago Botanic Gardens (Sat, 9/5/10)

So back in May we got a membership to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Unfortunately we have been running around doing so many other things on the weekends with the Meet Up group that we haven't had a chance to go back until this weekend. Generally I am unimpressed with how things look this late in summer and it isn't fall yet so I was feeling pessimistic about my odds of seeing anything appealing. Fortunately, there was a ton of stuff to shoot and we had a great trip there.





These pods creep me the hell out, but it was begging to be shot, so I had to look!







This (above) was my favorite shot of the day and possibly one of my all time favorites!!!




This (above) is a Hairy Balloon Plant and it looks quite like a yellow fuzzy man purse!














This (above) is another one I thought I knocked out of the park!!!


Again, these are skeevey but I had to shoot it!


These are autumn crocus and I think I need to get some for the garden.









This little baby bunny was so adorable and so tiny!!
