We’ve had gorgeous weather this week — warm days and plenty of sunshine. I got to ride my bike to campus on Tuesday and Thursday, and as I rode through the neighborhood, I couldn’t help but appreciate the emergence of spring. The trees are blooming a bit earlier than last year. The daffodils are nearly gone and the tulips are nodding their heads in the wind.

Since I was up early this morning, I decided to take a walk through the streets of Rogers Park with my camera. I do love it here!

A few things you’ll recognize from last year —

  • the snow fence on the beach is being dismantled
  • the tulips at the Frank Lloyd Wright house are blooming
  • the green puff trees are fully puffed
  • my favorite beach trees provide a great frame for the downtown skyline

Enjoy!
