Who would have thought we’d be walking about in our shirtsleeves in 70 degree temps at the beginning of November but such was the case today. A splendid autumn bonus that was best enjoyed in the open and preferably in a place as beautiful as the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Soaking up the sun and making the most of every moment, we’ve seen a lot of changes at the Garden over the years but none more spectacular than the change from summer to autumn.
We are so lucky to live within easy driving distance of this wonderful garden and love to visit no matter what the season but there’s something just so spectacular about the fall months.
Brilliant colors at every turn and in all parts of the garden and with the warm temperatures we were able to take our time to appreciate one of nature’s miracles.

Beautiful photos, I envy the warm weather😊
Thanks, Belinda. I hope this weather continues for a few more days at least. As my mother always used to say, “It’s bringing us one day nearer to Spring,”
Beautiful Autumn. I too had a fantastic stroll in local botanical garden today.
The best time of year, right now.
Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, Tom!
Stunning fall colors photographed very well!

Thank you, Dahlia!
Love the colors.
Isn’t this just the best time of the year, Roger. I love all the fall colors!
Most definitely!
Wonderful that it stays warm that long. I know the winters can be so rough there.
Love the fall foliage!
We are making the most of every good day. The weather has been great this past week!
How lovely those autumn colours are!
