Joe and I visited Morton Arboretum on Saturday. It was a lovely day.
The cicadas were everywhere...and the sound they make is straight out of a sci-fi movie.
View as you come out of the arboretum library.
A quiet little reading garden off of the library reading room.
And espaliered Ginko in the reading garden. I have never seen this done with a Ginko before. Very beautiful.
Cute little guys and gals everywhere....they have a great children's garden...with lots of water to play in!
Sculpture by Patrick Dougherty entitled Xanadu. Beautiful.
They have an awesome treehouse! Way up in the pines...with swinging bridges...straight out of a story book. I have a fantasy of someday having a wonderful treehouse.

Great pictures! Looks like a good place to spend the day. Now about those cicadas-YUCK. We used to have "Horrah the cicadas are gone" parties in my single days!
Oh, I used to go there all the time when I was younger, I will have to do it again, although I am not as close to it as I used to be. Can you believe, I have not seen a Cicada yet? Knock on wood!
What a place! I'd love to go there!
Great photos too.
Hello, thanks for your comments,this is the only way I know how to communicate with other people via blogging. Yours was one of the ones I had originally read and I was in tears about the loss of your beautiful boy. I lost my boy last year - a boxer. Its like loosing a child so warmest thoughts to you.
