In mid-July I spent two days up in the northern suburbs of Chicago with a landscaping company, covering some of the work from summer 2011. It was a pretty hot week, so we had a few issues with wilted lawns and timing of the sun on certain properties, but all in all I think we got some good stuff. One of my images was also used in a magazine ad shortly after the photo shoots. I think this one was my favorite from both days.
