I need a Chicago icon of some kind

[impulsereader]

I am seriously considering never leaving the house again without my camera; because you just never know when someone is going to put up a sign that, if you tell anyone you saw it, no one is going to believe you.




Isn't this cool? Though my zoom reveals a level of neglect I missed in person.



So yesterday it officially became Too Hot to be in Chicago, but that does mean all the roses are budding and blooming.



Some are doing it very picturesquely in the vicinity of wrought iron.



Someone had fun yesterday...



So I walked on, and took some pics of this flower...



...but just a few blocks later turned and backtracked. A block or two later I came upon what must have been the scene of a drive-by-flowering in the 5-10 minutes since I'd walked past this spot the first time.





So random.



I stopped at Jewel on the way home and apparently the spice aisle has become exciting!



Sherlock Fic is impending.

I love the little cobwebby seahorse, the drive-by flowering, and these are all lovely. What would represent Chicago to you, for an icon?

Wasn't The Bone Collector a movie? A pretty gross movie at that. I think they may want to reconsider that title.

I love the roses, though, and the chalk drawings. And the hat sign- I fell over laughing at that.

I love the picture of that orange flower! So pretty. And the drive by flowering is so completely random. :)

I really enjoyed your pictures. Interesting and/or pretty! (I think you can figure out which ones I think were which. :-) )

The Bone Collector this is from this guy's show/blog/etc. http://www.michaelwaddell.com/tv

You have a camera on your phone for immediate things like that, right?
