Around the South Loop

The Best Fall Ever
For many of us in Chicago, this is the best fall we've experienced in a long, long time. To see flowers still in bloom, with some still vibrant and healthy, this late in October is an unusual sight. But a welcome one, indeed. Below are some recent shots around the South Loop showing off the neighborhood and the city.

Beautiful Lake Michigan

What a View!

Living so close to the lake, it's easy to take if for granted. Then every once in a while you think, "wow," how lucky am I to live in a city like Chicago? Enjoy the view.

A Blustery Day by the Lake

This is what the lake looked like about one half mile from McCormick Place. The waves were breaking hard against the jetty.

The scene is calm and serene from this vantage point.
