We had snow, sleet, and rain last night in Chicago. The sun came out this morning and we had the most gorgeous scenery at The Morton Arboretum. We basically had an ice show and it’s impossible to document the true beauty on camera. There are things in life that you’d have to experience to deeply understand. :)

I can’t believe I’m bringing you snow and ice just a few days after the official day of spring, but this is Chicago and being unpredictable is what we’re all about! :) Too cold for my liking for this time of year, but it is so pretty.

Things that don’t go together are daffodils and crocuses in the snow! I grabbed my camera and headed to The Morton Arboretum with my kids when it began to snow yesterday in the middle of April (4/14 to be exact). It was actually really beautiful and refreshing. I love these images. There’s something really beautiful about fresh snow…we just didn’t expect it in April. Some of my favorite images EVER!

It’s March 25 and we still have a good amount of ice and snow on the ground. It was 25 degrees when I took my walk at The Morton Arboretum! BRrrrr… This is CHICAGO!
