I have to say, I’m pretty disappointed in this platform. 145 post to this point and getting little to no notice. 150 post will be my cut off if the activity doesn’t pick up.
A vestigial reminder of a cemetery that once existed in Chicago by North & Clark. Captured on a day of cloud & shadow play.

Quite delighted with the underpasses beneath LaSalle Drive as it cuts thru Lincoln Park. Right now dandelions are sprawling & when fortunate, you’ll get to see a display of the yellow flowers & the famous puff balls. Last weekend I caught Canada Goose eating the puffballs for their nutritious seeds.
Hugh painting a model at the Palette & Chisel. Like all of us, he has good days and frustrating days and yesterday it appeared he was struggling with capturing a satisfactory rendition of certain features.
At a time of no shortage of nudity, pornography, violence, & salacious material online with no filters regarding age of the viewer, to block an image of artists painting a model partially undressed seems to be censoring without merit. The Paris Opera has nude statues on the front of the building!!
It's a treat to live in Lincoln Park, we live literally on an avenue that divides buildings from parkland containing a zoo, ponds, on the other side of which is the main north-south traffic artery, parallel to that are ribbons of beaches and then the marvelous Lake Michigan.

Attended a NO KINGS demonstration in Chicago’s Grant Park. Melody Angel brought a powerful voice & began with Sam Cooke’s stirring A Change Is Gonna Come. Photoed my finger for scale reference. It’s tricky when working small to get some kind of personalized features.

The finished page & set up. I’ve drawn Mr. Gehry’s remarkable bandshell half dozen times and while I have mixed feelings about it, I’m glad Chicago stuck its neck out to do something distinctive. Your thoughts??
