The Lurie Garden gives me a destination, for real.stevehttp://stevesnedeker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-57291316954222329482009-10-05T08:30:17.743-07:002009-10-05T08:30:17.743-07:00Susan ...Ms R my dear,

My trips since moving West have been in May or September, so I've never seen the park or any of the new landscape at other times of the year. It been fascinating to see the garden fill in - do look for the Lurie/Oudolf plantings to appear here... soon. <br /><br />Yan, <br /Bay Area Tendrilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559534912850380427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-52663823471120030172009-10-04T06:29:13.405-07:002009-10-04T06:29:13.405-07:00Great urban gardens.

It's like the frenetic energy of NYC meets Midwest sensibilities. I was amazed at the flower and plant life in JULY! In Texas, our flowers and plants are wilting and fighting for dear life at that point in the summer. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pics.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440632162084471888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-62633271090755054182009-10-03T07:17:51.106-07:002009-10-03T07:17:51.106-07:00How fabulous!

The Millenium park seems to encapsulate all that has been said about the city moving on from its industrial image and becoming a place for people. I love glass towers and shallow pool, they're stunning but also fun.

Since it was built, I've only ever been to Chicago in the winter or very early spring. In the winter this public space is still surprising, engaging and wonderful.Susan aka Miss Rhttp://www.susancohan.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
