A few weeks ago, I taught a workshop at the Chicago Botanical Gardens for 13 of the Garden Club of America members.  They came from all parts of the country to attend the workshop.  I brought in Lou Nettlehorst and his son Todd to help attendees during the shooting times.  Unfortunately, we had to deal with temps in the 100-degree ranges but surprisingly everyone dealt with the heat with no complaints, well maybe I was complaining a little, lol.  Despite the heat it was a great experience, and the attendees were a pleasure to work with. I did get to come in a day early to shoot for myself and got some great images, and here is my favorite image from my time shooting in the gardens.
