"these are a few of my favorite things..."

One of my favorite things about Chicago... on a nice crisp day the wind blowing from the west straight down the river envelopes you lightly in a chocolate fragrance. it comes from the last remaining candy factory in Chicago. it's almost the only thing that makes waiting for the bus enjoyable.

p.s. another favorite thing is the Christmas lights. they are starting to put them on the trees for the Festival of Lights parade on November 17.

one minute of fame

Here's my one minute of fame. I submitted a fall picture to the on-line Tribune yesterday. Today at 4:00 I went on to the main page and low and behold there was my picture. the feature picture of the moment under "Seeing Color?". :) I'm assuming it will continue to be in the gallery for a few days.

The turtle, the witch and the dragon...
