Back at The Conservatory! Here’s another image of the actual place… instead of a close-up shot.

This is the “Show House” room which is rather cold in order to preserved the plants blossoms. I’d really [...]

The Flower and Garden Show at Navy Pier – our Rooftop display. I worked the booth all afternoon and managed to snap a few photos while chatting with inquisitive passersby.
