The Morton Arboretum Photographic Society (MAPS) would like to extend an invitation to all to their 3rd Annual Nature Photography Exhibit this weekend.  This gorgeous exhibit of approximately 150 original photographs, many inspired by the The Morton Arboretum, will take place in the Sycamore Room (near the Visitor’s Center) on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, 2014, from 10 am until 4 pm.  There is no fee for the exhibit, although gate fees will apply for non-members of the Arboretum.  An Artists’ and Members’ Reception is scheduled for Friday, May 2, 2014, in the Sycamore Room, from 5 until 8 pm. For more information on the exhibit or other MAPS activities, please click on this link to the MAPS website.

Before (or after) you visit the exhibit, be sure to take a tour of  The Morton Arboretum grounds.  The daffodils, bluebells and dogwoods are all in full bloom, and the scene is stunning. For a list of all the plants in bloom, or ready to bloom, please click on this link to the Bloom Report from the Arboretum.  You won’t be disappointed, and you may even be inspired to return with your camera and participate in next year’s MAPS exhibit!
