Oak Park Conservatory/ March Expedition

Until yesterday, the steel gray skies and black icy remnants left from the snow plows and cold chilling winds still filled Chicagoan's lives. I had to find warmth and color!
What better place than the Conservatory?

It was so refreshing to be in the warmth and take flower pictures ad nauseum...

Sorry to post so much, but I'm making up for not posting for a month and a half or so!

Thanks for looking.

    What a wonderful 'Oasis' you have in Chicago ... For sure it was a lot of shots to get through ... I think some could benefit with a little finner focus ... but nice post!

    - Out of Focus!!

    I really liked your white tulips - to tell you the truth - I will have to come back and look at the rest. Just not enough time this time.

    - Flowers are happiness...
