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..

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…
