Chicago Residence

watercolor
cityscape

I love the homes in the city of Chicago.  The only thing is that they are so close together and they have no where to park..That I wouldn't like....plus I am sure the cost of living is astronomical.   But it is fun to visit...
My Kind of Town...Chicago, is !!

"A" Classic

Ran across this model "A" and had to take a photo or two. lol. Then the owner came out and we had a nice chat.  A camera can introduce you to a lot of neat people.  It's the only way you should shoot someone or something...

Stay well.  Stay strong.  Have a great weekend.

"Biking in the City" Chicago

watercolor

I enjoyed seeing this gal on one of Chicago's DIVY bikes.  It is a bike system that they have up in Chicago where you have the opportunity to rent a public bike to view the city.  I am sure she was enjoying the views of the city.

Sun Flower

This is a great time of year to get your sun flowers...I never knew there were so many varieties and sizes.  This is also a reminder that summer is coming to and end soon and fall will be upon us before we know it......but not for a while so enjoy the rest of your summer.

Stay Well.  Stay Safe.

Eating Lunch on My Deck

I bought this pot of sunflowers for only $15 and these flowers have been blooming like crazy.  They are not the 9 feet tall ones.  They brought sunshine to my deck and to me...I was especially thrilled to catch this little guy on the branch...
Hope you are all having a nice weekend.  
Stay Well.  Stay Strong.

The Balloon Shop-Chicago

I had to look twice when I saw this.  I go up to Chicago often and was working up there for 12 years and I never saw this place.  It was such a pleasant view to see during this pandemic.  It brought smiles to my face.  Hope it does to yours, too.
Stay strong.  Stay well.

Sometimes we just need to see things from a different perspective....Here's looking across Lake Michigan and at sunset you can see how I captured the city of Chicago in the background.

Enjoy your weekend...head up to the city.

Seventh Inning Stretch

watercolor
14" x 21"
cityscape

It's sad that we are missing so much of this season of baseball.  Not that I am a big baseball fan but so many people are.  How do you social distance at a game or how do you eat a Chicago hot dog or drink a cold beer with a mask on?  They have decided to have a short season this year with no fans in  attendance.  What?  Crazy times.  Hopefully, this too, shall pass,  Soon.

This is a statue of Harry Carey the great announcer of the games who has since passed on.  Hope this statue doesn't come down.  This is the bleacher section of Chicago CUBS baseball field...known as Wrigley Field.  Come to Chicago and check out Wrigleyville.

"Cafe' Reflecting"

I saw this gentleman in Chicago sitting at one of the outside cafes.  The city had just opened up and it only had outside dinning.  I wonder what he was thinking...

Stay well.  Stay strong.
