Trying to be artistic

Well, here's my attempt at trying to be artistic at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, minus the house sparrow. I had to throw her in here. As much as I dislike house sparrows (they are deadly to bluebirds) I did enjoy them at the gardens. They have this wonderful outdoor eating area and the birds are everywhere begging for any little scrap of food they can get. Of course I threw her a potato chip and then she was my best friend.
These first two photos are when we were on the tram taking a tour of the gardens. They have the most beautiful prairie gardens.

These last 3 photos are my attempt at trying to do some macrophotography. Someday I would LOVE to buy a macro lens.

I have one more posting to do about the gardens. I took a lot of photos of the railroad garden. What fun that was... It was Craig's favorite. I'll post that sometime this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
