Morning calm at the Morton Arboretum

I started the day early at the Morton Arboretum in Lyle, Illinois – hoping to beat the summer heat, and ended up walking into pure peace

This 1700 acre sanctuary is home to more than 222,000 plants from around the globe, and today it felt like each one was quietly waking up with the sun. From winding Woodland trails to open prairies dotted with wildflowers, every corner reminded me how grounding nature can be, especially in those early, undisturbed hours.

Highly recommend an early arrival if you want to soak in the serenity before the crowds and the temperatures rise.
