Rhonda Duncan captured this great image while kayaking the Chicago River during Art on The Mart.

Julie McCormick, of Hampshire, sent in this photo she took of sunflowers at her property. She said this is the fourth year of planting one acre of sunflowers. She said that she leaves a flower cart at the end of her driveway for anyone that wants to take some flowers home. "People leave little notes of gratitude on receipts, napkins or whatever they can find in their vehicle," McCormick said. "This makes my heart smile when I read these notes. Business is busy, almost a full time job filling the buckets."

LAST WEEK: Gorgeous Ginkgo, Pollinator Garden And A Magical Street

Betty Bogda, of Yorkville, photographed her cat, Muggsie, in a section of her vegetable garden taken over by fall weeds.

Jay Strong sent in this photo his daughter, Renee Strong, shot looking down Lockport Street in Plainfield.

Thank you for all the beautiful photo submissions!
