Waiting to Go Out

During these challenging times, we realize how important those little things that we took for granted can be taken away.  Here in Indiana we are starting to open up a bit, but being 35 miles south of Chicago they are still in lock down and it seems like they will be for a while.

I did go up to Chicago three times during these past 2 months to take some photos for future paintings. The first time I went to the city there was no one up there.  Just a few cars and a few people.  Great time to take photos.  Then on the second trip there were signs of people and a few more cars.  This last trip about a week ago was more like what I am used to seeing.  Lots of people live in Chicago so they need to get out.  It was a lovely warm day.  Most had masks on but not all.  

I know things will never be as they were, but we are strong people and we will adjust and move on.  We have learned so much during this time.
