There wasn’t much time to Pull Up A Seat at the Chicago Botanic Garden yesterday. There was just so much to see and photograph, but there were a couple of benches that caught my eye because of the colorful flowers nearby. It was a gorgeous day (a rare treat in what has been an extremely rainy month) so I felt like I needed to make the most of it. Lots more flower pictures to come in future posts.

Beautiful. I liked the circular details on the arm supports. What a lovely day.
We haven’t had too many sunny days so far this spring so this made a nice change.
We’ve been going back and forth between warm and sunny, and rain. But we need the rain and aren’t having the scary weather other places have been seeing so I can’t really complain.
I’d like to sit on one of those benches and soak up the beauty
I can highly recommend it!
😉
Beautiful spots to enjoy the lovely day and flowers. 🙂
As you can imagine, this is a very popular tourist destination but there are plenty of seats to go around.
Nice sunny day with beautiful benches and colourful flowers. Perfect day!
It was! Thanks so much for stopping by.
I wish i could sit on one of those benches and relax 😀
Although it doesn’t look like it in these pictures, the place was packed! Everyone was enjoying a rare sunny day and seats like these were in great demand.
Looks comfortably relaxing. Beautiful photos!
Thanks, Chris! I must admit there is rather a temptation to spend too much time sitting around, soaking up the sun in spots like this.
Lovely blue sky, beautiful tulips and a garden seat…perfect! I like the symmetry and colours in the first photo…lovely photos.
Thank you, Marianne! It was a perfect day, in every way.
I haven’t visited you in a while and have missed you! Your photos look great!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your visit.
