Hibiscus

One of my favorite flowers, especially when they have big, beautiful blooms like this one at the Garfield Park Conservatory. Photo taken in April 2013.

Tropical green

More from the Garfield Park Conservatory, something about the pattern and the shades of green on this leaf attracted me. Photo taken in April 2013.

Signs of spring

It didn't feel like spring time when I was in Chicago last April. But I still liked this sign that I found in the Garfield Park Conservatory - someone took the time to arrange all the pennies in the fountain into this nice message. Photo taken in April 2013. For more signs, visit Signs, Signs.

Resting place reflections

Mies van der Rohe is a famous architect who was born in Germany and later died in Chicago after an illustrious career. I was lucky enough to catch some reflections in his gravestone when I visited Graceland Cemetery in Chicago recently. Photo taken in April 2013.

For more reflections visit Weekend Reflections. You can also see one of van der Rohe's early works on my other blog, Berlin 365.
