A Visit to the Botanical Garden


We spent several days in the Chicago area this past weekend with the girls' Grandma.  I convinced asked my Husband to accompany me to the Chicago Botanical Garden on Saturday.  We've been there several times, and I do not tire of going!

A new attraction since we were there last is a Butterfly House.  I was giddy with excitement when I saw it!  A month or so ago we were able to visit the St Louis Butterfly House, but honestly this one seemed to have more butterflies, but in a smaller space.  Regardless, I was having the time of my life photographing these flying flowers.  They don't sit still very well, but when you capture one in full focus, it sure is rewarding.

My photo was treated with one layer of kkRed at 50% Soft Light, and kkGreyDay at 75% Soft Light.  Thanks for the new textures Kim!

I'd love to invite you over to my new Etsy shop!  It's all about photography!!
