I'm pretty much over at the Wisconsin section since I moved from Illinois last fall, but I do have to come and check for photos!

Thanks, Susan! Homesick?

I miss some of my friends, some did come to see me last fall. When and if the weather gets better I'm sure more will be by! I'm in a good spot, on the way to Door County.

I went and got my taxes done, drove to my cousins for Easter so I get back to Illinois. I don't think I would have gone more than 3 hrs. away, I still feel a connection with Illinois.

In fact, my sister and brother-in-law from Iowa will drive over and I'll drive down and we'll do a tour. We do the Culture Center neighborhood tours, our summer tradition. I love it, no driving and trying to park! You just get on the bus and they do the rest. Prices vary, they provide lunch, usually a 3 hr. or so tour. We've been to Pullman, China Town, Little Italy, Chicago Fire Tour, Taste of the Neighborhoods and this year I think its the cemetaries!

From Sunday night. Good thing I snapped the photo when I did, as it was at its climax (as far as color goes). I was gonna wait a few minutes to see how it progressed, and it wasnt much, as the oranges and reds died down quickly. Here it is in all its glory...

2 crappy snapshots of the sunset last night:

Great pics. My favorite would be the first pic of your second post. I like the colors of the sky, and the way the sun looks behind the trees.
