Back at the Field

Andy and I were back at the Field Museum tonight for the opening of its Wild Color event. Seeing a new exhibit at the Field was our last outing before the pandemic shut the world down. Lots of cheese and fruit before the presentation.

The presenters talked about the various colors found in nature and how they're mimicked in fashion.

We were surprised to be funneled upstairs for dinner.

The exhibit had a different area for each color.

This was the blue area.

They even had an albino area with these squirrels from southern Illinois. From my years living in Effingham, I know they're seen all over Olney.

We were pleasantly surprised to be invited to the event since we've let our membership lapse during the pandemic. Guess they'd like us to renew. We plan to eventually.
