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.
