a beautiful sunny fall day...

...for your viewing pleasure, and to contrast with yesterday's "post of gloom"--a few photos of the beautiful sunny and blue-skied fall day today in Chicago...
And here, from my hotel room window, is a teeny tiny view of the famous Sears Tower in downtown Chicago... far off in the distance yet still recognizable... And today, I went outside for a few minutes to get 'up close and personal' with that gloriously golden tree I showed you yesterday...It was quite lovely from underneath, especially in contrast with the brilliant blue of the sky and the wonderful fluffy white cotton-ball clouds... (I found a little surprise in the tree that I'll share with you another day!)
The leaves below were from yet another tree decked out in yellows... they were too marvelous to resist a few close-ups...


So, here's to another fine day of fall yellows, this time accentuated by a striking background of blue and white. Early tomorrow morning I'm off to the airport and Michigan where I hope to find some lovely oranges and reds in Michigan to share later this week!

  1. Hey, the trees are parading for you! =D

    Aren't you glad that the leaves stay. Love the gentle gold against the sky. Those dramatic clouds were awesome too. Isn't it a bliss to see them all, like having everything to yourself...

    I'll be waiting for your new sharing. =D
