Chicago Photo of the Week: Lurie Garden

Chicago is rocking in the summertime — full of great sights, sounds and smells. IMHO, this is the best place to live, work, play and minister. As I roll through life, I often seek out photobloggers who capture the essence of what Chicago is and when I find those photos, I love to just take them in and see how they are able to see Chicago…and express the clarity of Chicago through the lense. Now I am going to periodically share their excellent work on my blog.

This week’s photo to be featured comes from a photoblogger “LensImpression” who is exploring the Lurie Garden at Millenium Park. I think he has really captured the feeling of a garden in the city. I love the flowing purples and the feeling a calm in the garden, which is located in the heart of downtwon!  What a place for some solitude.  The flowers blooming now as shown in this shot are …
