Happy Halloween!

One of my favorite things about fall in Chicago’s Lincoln Park and Old Town neighborhoods is seeing all the pumpkins and gourds that people use to decorate their homes. Even the tiniest little cluster brings such joy.

And then in the Gold Coast you get glorious displays of autumnal abundance such as this one.

Wishing you a Happy Halloween!

I really like these photos I took all over Chicago at different times, but had difficulty finding a way to share them in an interesting context. So I was very pleased when I finally figured out how to group them together under this unified theme. Enjoy!

Freezing a perfect moment in a photograph feels magical. The way sunshine hits a tree atop a building, an airplane in just the right spot, neatly manicured hedges behind a fancy fence, a peach colored building against a gray Chicago sky, a strangely dignified looking parking garage, and the Sears Tower from the roof of Whole Foods Lincoln Park.

Life is fleeting, but full of wonders if you stop to look.

The Superdawg Drive-In on Milwaukee Avenue is such an awesome Chicagoland institution. My favorite order is a Superdawg with a Pineapple Supershake.

The pickled green tomato on the side is unique and delicious. We’ve also been to their location in Wheeling which is very nice!
