Surreal, but real

Everything about this seems unnatural, doesn't it? But it's completely unmanipulated. It was taken through a pane of yellow-tinted glass at the Children's Garden in the Morton Arboretum.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! I wish this had been a mother with her daughter, instead of a grandfather, but it's still a nice family scene. Maybe the mom was out pampering herself. ;-)

Hey, where did everybody go?

The Morton Arboretum has some great gardens and adventures for kids, including this fun hedge maze. They even have a knee-high hedge one for toddlers. It was adorable.

Daffodils in the sun

Taken in the Daffodil Grove at the Morton Arboretum, May 3, 2007. Most of the blooms were gone, but a few hearty ones enjoyed the sun's warmth.
