MORTON ARBORETUM and OF THE EARTH EXHIBIT in the SNOW - MyShadowProductions #190

Happy New Year everyone !! 

I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for allowing me to send MyShadowProductions to your inbox, I enjoy the creative freedom :)

Well, as I mentioned at the end of my last Post, it snowed!! It was only 2 to 3 inches but it was ideal in my opinion. The snow was just wet enough to “stick” to the trees and bushes yet was not an issue for the roads. I was able to get to the Morton Arboretum early and take advantage of the Members Only entrance between 7am and 9am. Most times I was following a single path of footsteps and at others my footsteps were the first. I even saw a few Deer tracks (not as many as I expected though).

If you remember in MyShadowProductions Post #182 on 9/4, I was hopeful to get pictures of the “Of The Earth” exhibits in the snow and that day came on December 20, 2024 :) (I know, awkward with the “of the” twice, couldn’t think of a better way to say it :)

I think a new and different Exhibit is coming in April/May so we have that to look forward to :)

Here are some random photos in Aurora during the Snow (sometimes Mother Nature provides all the entertainment along with some lights and man made structures :)

No, I wasn’t trying to imitate the Statue of Liberty, that would have been the other arm :)

  I was trying to make the “peace sign” but had my gloves on :)

I have a new HAIKU poem and collage of photos to start the New Year:

I am going to quote a friend for a big nudge into 2025:

“Full BLOOM Ahead !! 🦚🦚🦚 “
