I wanted to share a few pictures from the botanical gardens in Madison WI. Erich’s birthday is coming up so we decided to go on a short getaway. I’m so glad we did :) but I wish we could stay longer. I loved everything about Madison. What a great place to visit. We biked, went swimming, ate too much, explored, hung out by the lake with friends. I’m so ready for our next vacation. Hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather.

I couldn’t help myself the other day, and had to snap a few shots of this squirrel. We had more than one coming the past few months and taking over our old bird feeder so there were no seeds left for the birds. And what I mean is that the refilled seeds were gone in just a few minutes sometimes! So we decided to buy a new squirrel-proof bird feeder. But let me tell you, it still hasn’t stopped them. They can’t get the seeds out, so instead they just sit on the top and scare all the poor birds away. After a very long time, what must be like an eternity for the squirrel, she tried to shake the seeds out. Our squirrels became a little overweight, as you can see, because our post is leaning a little more and more every day. :)
Erich surprised me with a bouquet of flowers (no occasion), so I had to take some pictures before our cat Lester would get into them. I love macro photography. It’s amazing to look at the pictures and see all the tiny details. While I was taking some close-ups, I noticed an Asian lady beetle landed on one of the petals. Yes, we have some at home. It is a “leftover” from the beetle invasion we had last fall.

Looks like this winter is very generous when it comes to snow. For sure we can’t complain about not having enough. Although winter is my least favorite season, I still find this time of the year magical. Not just because of the holiday but there is something beautiful about seeing everything covered under the white “blanket”.
I thought I’ll share with you a picture of our Bengal cat Lester. In case you can’t tell, he’s an indoor cat. We took him out in the snow and he actually liked it because the following day, while Erich was refilling the bird feeder, he slipped out on his own. He started exploring and slowly walking away from our house. But don’t worry he’s safely back home now taking his nap.

Today I spent the morning taking pictures in Chicago Botanic Garden. What a great place to see! It’s a perfect spot for relaxation or just to visit with family and friends. Check out these beautiful flowers.
