Winter Garden, Florida was a delightful downtown with amazing boutiques, eateries and coffee shops. Shout out to Main House Market (best peppermint lavender kombucha on the planet!) and Doxology.

Taken moments before The Bean swallowed me whole. I had enough time to take this shot, grab the SD card and throw it to freedom. I then snapped my shutter three times while saying, “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Not much of a challenge here, but I have to find some way to justify sharing all these picture of The Bean πŸ™‚ Β Just one more after this one…. I promise.

This was taken at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. This is an amazing urban play-scape featuring this remarkable suspension rope bridge, and other typical park activities in a modern, beautifully designed setting. A must see if you ever visit Chicago!
