Yes. I have been curious about this for a year and finally found it this morning on the way in to work. This hard-to-find garden was designed by famous Chicago landscape architect Alfred Caldwell in the 30s. The zoo put a bunch of birds in it that destroyed the lilies and vegetation, Caldwell raised a ruckus and it was eventually restored. It is directly across Fullerton from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum building. The Alfred Caldwell Lillie Pond is gooooooorgeous.

Yesterday and today were quite enjoyable especially compared to last week.  What a difference 20 degrees makes!

Really like that last single photo, too, Gene.  Location?

Family in from out of town tomorrow, and we are going bike riding.  (Vacation day!)  I plan to try to show them some of your places.
