The backlands are looking different than they did back in January. Chicagoans have begun to plant up their decks. The ivy clinging to the buildings is green. The lawn furniture that has lain neglected for months under tarps or, more commonly, snow, has been straightened into formation, ready for the next party or gathering of the clan.

What beautiful flowers. I love purple because the second I look at it, I feel a rush of joy.

I’ve been to the Warren Woods many times and strongly believe that Mr. C picked an ideal spot to propose...

Thanks for painting a picture of the noisy city with your words. Despite the noise, I miss the place.

How lovely to turn an unexpected wait in a vast airport into an artful observation. Thank you for looking outside...

Thank you for visiting

Yup, the scenery from the “L” is often very urban. . . . In that photo I also noticed the rusting “L” supports and the power lines plus transformer.
Celia says
an incongruous setting for a party, no? but i bet that deck has seen many a good time. . .
Jody says
There’s nothing like a ride on the L for views of the real Chicago! Love this!
Celia says
I love the views from the el! It’s the best when conditions are right for picture-taking, as they were this day.
