Chicago Botanic Garden at Dusk


I appreciate those rare occasions when I am in a landscape at dawn or dusk when the light shows gardens to their best advantage. Last week I was lucky enough to experience magical lighting effects when I attended a program on Bird Conservation in Guatemala at 7 pm.

The above combo of Birch and Daffodils completely captivated me by the manner in which the white reflected the light of the setting sun.
 

Here you can see me stopped in my tracks by the fun shadows contrasted with the sheen of the gravel.

Below I managed to slightly capture a back-lit Willow.  Added interest can be seen behind the tree where CBG is redoing a pond.
