This week more than ever, a visit to The Chicago Botanical
Garden
seemed like a great idea. The carnage in Orlando and the venom that has
been spewed since against immigrants especially Muslims goes on and on. I could
talk about acceptance – of the LGBT community, of Muslims, and of other
immigrants- but you’ve heard it all before. I could talk about sensible gun
control, but I’ve done that before also. Pres. Obama made his sixteenth
impassioned plea for gun control probably to no avail. Sometimes it feels good
to just take a break.
I can’t think of a better place for a break than the Chicago
Botanic Garden
www.chicagobotanic.org located at the Edens Expressway and
Lake-Cook Road in Glencoe, Illinois. It’s listed as a major museum in
Chicago’s Museums, A Complete Guide to the City’s Cultural Attractions by
Victor Danilov. Every time we go there we see new gardens and more in bloom.
Admission to the Botanic Garden is free but the charge for parking is $25 per
car. It is open daily.
Going there in June there is so much blooming. Instead of
deluging you with more words, here are some of my favorite pictures. I
fervently hope that all of us individually and America as a whole has a better
week ahead.
