Chicago Day 2: Tuesday Part II


After Oak Park and Columbus Park we headed over to the Garfield Conservatory.  It was so fantastic!  Very green, very lush, very satisfying. 

I took a few pictures of leaves, which you may find boring.  But this is what interests me!


 So many wonderful patters and variations on greens and golds.


 I could have stayed here for a very long time.



 
I found this to be refreshing.  Yes!


Chihuly had an exhibit here about four (?) years ago.  These pieces stayed.  Very fun.  They looked so much better in person, as most things do.  The koi was a great addition in bringing vibrant color, fluid movement and a wonderful sense of wisdom into the space. 




Water lilies.  Love water lilies.

 



 
There was a fun maze/labyrinth to walk in.  You start here, in the center and follow to trail out and around and around dipping in here and dipping in there.



 
A very large Century Plant.  Wow.
