Earth Day 2009

I took this picture in Millenium Park, you know the one with the giant silver bean. So instead of taking one of a billion photographs of my warped self in front of a warped skyline I decided to focus on the smaller details, which usually means I end up photographing flowers. Or architecture. I figure the real work has already been done for me the only thing I have to worry about is focus. These trees were everywhere, covered with these large fragrant blooms. I have no idea what they are called but if anyone can ever replicate this scent I will be first in line bathing myself in it.
