| A visit to Chicago during a beautiful weekend. I roamed about, and snapped a few images.  |

| The Beach at Sainte-Adresse, by Claude Monet 1867 The Art Institute of Chicago |
 |
| The Marina City complex was designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg and completed in 1968. Known as The Corncob Buildings, this is my artsy angle. |

| Nighthawks, by Edward Hopper 1942 The Art Institute of Chicago |
 |
| Lion, one of a pair of outdoor 1893 bronze sculptures by Edward Kemeys The Art Institute of Chicago |
Yes, this was the only feline I managed to find!
Beyond thankful to my family who included me in their travels, both last weekend and a couple of weeks ago when on the westside of Michigan.
Witnessing the gorgeous weddings of my two nephews were gifts of unimaginable value.
Let's Hop!
Love that big Lion!! So majestic!
