As we enjoyed the warm weather last week, here is a shot of the Chicago River with the Trump Tower prominent in the shot.  Don’t we live in the best city in the world?

Chicago Photo of the Week: Lurie Garden June 15, 2007

Posted by Steve in : Weblog , add a comment

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 …

* Purple Sensation Alliums … [origin: Asia Minor] …

* Arkansas Bluestar … [origin: Native]… .

* Oregano … [origin: Europe] …

* Meadow Sage … [origin: worldwide] …

Check out his excellent work here.
