I took the morning off from work yesterday to get photos of the cherry blossoms at Jackson Park. 2021 was the last time I got photos of them. They were so pretty to see again!

Throwback to last year's green river in Chicago! I took this on 03/19/2024, two days after the river was dyed. If you miss it today, you'll still have a chance to see it for a couple more days!
