On September 28th (ah, here so soon...), I will be giving a walk on Evening Garden Treasures at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We will be looking at how to experience the night garden hopefully in different ways than mainstream, i.e. beyond white and fragrant flowers. So it was a nice surprise last week after that bird lecture to be able to explore the CBG at night. Especially with a picturesque moon.
These first two shots were taken in the Heritage garden. You can see some of the night time lighting and reflections. I love how the circle of trees (Bald Cypress as I recall) hasn't leafed out yet and thus has a strong sculptural presence.
The last image shows an allee of trees (I forget what kind) leading away from the Education Building down to that pond being renovated by day.
