new year at the night bean

We spent New Year’s Day (also our 36th wedding anniversary) in Chicago! So grateful for my WordPress family and wishing you all the best for 2019!

lonely crown fountain

Normally filled with kids, laughter, water, and, splashing, this is a lonely Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

The pavilion with the funkiest name is also the most difficult to photograph, so, I decided to try a profile shot.

I spent some time in Chicago with some of my colleagues today. Here is a bit of what I saw. First, falling presents at Macy’s.

Everyone knows that if you find yourself at Macy’s in Chicago during the Christmas season that a visit to The Walnut Room is not to be missed.

The Bean (Cloud Gate) is like a magnet for photographers. I was unable to resist.

I saw two stars and a bean.

It was a beautiful day with unusually warm weather for December.

The London House (center) and… well…you know.

The Chicago River looking particularly grand today.

Thanks for stopping buy!

…what a wonderful world…

Put the pin down and walk away……s-l-o-w-l-y…..
