Thought I’d share these recent photos of Chicago in the summertime, as I’m sure I’ll need them to get through the next several months! It’s not too bad yet, though it is pretty rainy today… Trying to decide if I really want to drive up north to run with the R4R group or just run on my own. Hmmm, maybe if there’s parking… Anyway!

The whole time I’ve been writing this post I’ve had “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” from Mary Poppins stuck in my head. These are saved from the Chicagoist, or my new favorite thing, Smashing Magazine.
I love the composition of this one:
Eventually these will be my wedding colors–I like the moss in there with the pomegranate red and peacock blue…mmmm 
Ladybugs! And summer

So, it should be no real surprise that I love vintage-y looking posters, hence I REALLY love this one! I’m fully embracing living in Chicago these days, and I feel my spirits buoying. Such a wonderful place, with so many things to offer! It’s a wonder it’s taken me this long to figure it out/remember. Duh, Chicago’s awesome.
Someone posted this on the Chicagoist, and I thought it was pretty so I’m re-posting. Yay pretty flowers.

Lately I’ve become addicted to the Chicagoist, which now feeds directly into my Google Reader (hooray!). Anyway they post interesting pictures of Chicago every once in a while, and I liked these two.
Also somewhat related to the Chicagoist (since occasionally they also do restaurant reviews) my real, live obsession is currently Yelp, which is basically home to reviews of ALL kind. Seriously, I find myself needing to consult Yelp before I go anywhere, from restaurants to the Garfield Park Conservatory (more on that later). It even helped Phil and I identify a restaurant on my street exactly one block from my apartment I never knew existed!!! Crazy!!! Anyway, they have it in more cities besides Chicago, so if you live in one of their areas, you should definitely check it out. If you’re anything like me, you’ll register within moments of entering the site.
