a day in the BIG City… Chicago!

we had some business that called Machine Man to the BIG City

and so we decided to ALL hop on the train system 
and spend a beautiful summer day 
in Chicago

We saw lots of things
one JUST never sees at Blessings Farm..

or anywhere near Blessings Farm...

We saw ginormous heads surrounded by blue skies
and flowers

the famed BEAN

which made Buddy giggle 
ENDLESSLY

the skyline was beautiful

the marketplaces 
colorful

the bean
amusing

and bright

and apparently 
hysterically humous!

giggling just kept going on and on and on...

out door amphitheater 

the BP Bridge

walking about

water fun on a HOT day

so many lovely bridges connecting one here and there..
so many lovely gardens

bringing color
and life to this very Metropolitan Space

love the stone work!
texture pleases me SO deeply.

patterns..
height…
color..
bam!

go go GO 
Chicago
old and new
blended and beautiful

and there is the sea..
the brave 
and beautiful 
fresh water inland sea..
that most people dare call a lake..
WHATever..

all smiles

what a HAM

a favorite spot of mine..
The Chicago Art Institute…
endless hours in my teen years spent here…


street musicians
how I adore street musicians!
of all kinds

fun times

The Blue Angels were practicing over head
the day we went..
SO exciting!

really tall buildings!

color
texture
light
shadow
love

picasso
american flag
old building
new building
BLUE blue skies
love this shot


The Berghoff!
I am GERMAN
so I love this restaurant..
we didn't get to eat here..
but we drooled over the menu
yum

All in all a great adventure day in the 
BIG CITY
now back to our adventures 
on the Farm
