mirror maze

The best part of this afternoon’s visit to the Museum of Science and Industry was the mirror maze! It was totally disorienting, put you in an insecure, tenuous mode and, was sooooooo fun!!

being silly in the windy city

A breezy, sunny, gorgeous afternoon + a silly grandson + rectangle donuts + a beautiful park = lots of fun.

Toolbox

My daughter and son-in-law rent the main level of a beautiful old home in the awesome Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. When you walk into the basement it feels like you take a step back in time. I am almost sure I heard this old toolbox say, “Take my picture!”

This is what you see on your way to Maggie Daley Park from Millennium Park.

Or, the title could be, “Where’s Waldo?” – or – “Where is my wife Ruth?” (She is actually in this image!). What a fun park!!!

Well, actually, this is just a small portion of the Chicago skyline. This image was taken from the amazing Maggie Daley Park looking back towards Millennium Park. (Click here and here for a couple of my images of Maggie Daley Park.) You can see the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in the lower center portion of the image. I am a New Yorker at heart, but it is really hard to beat the majesty of Chicago and, the beauty of the vast green space and urban playground of Grant Park, Millennium Park and, Maggie Daley Park. Bravo Chicago!

JP Pavilion

The first of two images from downtown Chicago. The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in beautiful Millennium Park, Chicago. The network of tubes above the grass is the structure that suspends the sound system. I have been here many, many times, but never for a concert. I have to fix that!
