Sunday we spent a couple of hours at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. There are several things I will miss on the North Shore now that Sarah and Adam are moving to Wisconsin, and the Botanic Gardens are high on that list. We visited a special exhibit called "Butterflies and Blooms," and I thought three of those photos would fit right in with Mary-Lou's Take Three Thursday meme.
This butterfly landed among many of the blooms.
If you look closely, you'll see two butterflies on this beautiful orange flower.
This butterfly was almost transparent.
I have to admit the butterflies were easier to photograph than my grandchildren who weren't much interested in having their photographs taken!
