I enjoyed photographing in the Butterflies and Blooms exhibit at Chicago Botanic Garden every week during the summer. The summer flew by and Labor Day weekend saw the closing of the exhibit for the summer. The new location of the exhibit proved to be a wonderful change with beautiful views of both McDonald Woods to the north and the Japanese Garden to the south. I'm posting my favorite images for the summer. Some of the images were in a blog post earlier in the summer but they remain my favorites for the summer.
