I could get addicted to your photographs. Love the things you capture. Of course, I love visiting Chicago -- don't want to live there but just visit. I'm not too much of a city girl. Walking along Lake Shore Drive, eating at Ginos, visiting Navy Pier and watching fireworks from a cruise boat. Not to mention American Girl! Oh so many memories your pictures stirred.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Chicago. Thank you for the lovely tour.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing on Spiritual Sundays.
