Tuesday probably wasn't the most comfortable day to be walking around outside, temperatures were in the high 80's and humidity way up there, but the rain had finally cleared out and I wanted to see the Butterfly Exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
While I was waiting for the exhibit to open, I wandered over to a part of the garden that I have never visited before. This area is primarily for kids. They have a learning center there and a play area. The Cove is a platform by the lake where they can study life along the water's edge and a group from summer camp were looking for frogs.
Back to the butterflies. Butterflies and Blooms is a really cool opportunity for people to see rather more exotic butterflies than the ones we usually get in our own gardens. There are also some beautiful flowers to enjoy.
After more than an hour of walking round and round the butterfly enclosure, I decided to head over to the English Walled Garden for a little shade and a drink of water.
By this time I had used up just about all of my energy and decided to make one more stop, at the Circle Garden before heading for the exit.
I think this little bird had the right idea. He, at least, was keeping cool on this very hot day.
