During a walk from Oak Street Beach and the lake shore to Grant Park in Chicago recently I came across Lake Shore Park on E. Chicago Avenue. I gravitated to the park bench in front of me to soak in a little of Chi-town. The park, a baseball diamond and a staple of the skyline, John Hancock Center, all straight ahead!

Back to Jackson Street Bridge and the Dpwntown Atlanta skyline I go. It's been a minute.Taking in the Grand Rapids Fall and coffee shop vibes at @rowstercoffee. βππMy @puremichigan coffee adventure series continues with a new post: "Go On A Michigan Coffee Adventure In The Great Lakes Bay Region". See link in bio. βββEnjoyed a Salted Caramel Mocha and Ham & Cheese Croissant recently at @thenarrowwaycafe along the Livernois Avenue of Fashion in Detroit! A wonderful, wonderful experience. ββ€πTaking a minute to pretend it's still summer. It's warm and I'm at the beach. Oh wait there are even Fall colors here along the sand. ππAnn Arbor Fall colors, a romantic picnic and city/skyline views awaits up-top Hunt Park. β€πππ§ΊWas at my favorite Fall color spot in the Brighton area today. The dirt path to get to the south end of Huron Meadows Metropark, always a breathtaking experience. ππβ€Always keep that camera ready in Autumn. You never know when you'll turn on a street and the colors will be popping.A daddy and his little man! β€ππββοΈ Without a care in the world. No words were spoken. Just staring out into the lake at the @puremichigan beauty in Fentpn.Tag Cloud

I used to play softball in Grant Park. Great place to have fun and watch night descend on the amazing skyline.
My camera is always out when wandering Grant Park day-or-night, so much of Chicago to capture. π What a great spot for a game!
Very cool shot! How come I’ve missed this spot?
Hope your Chi-town wanderings take you there.What great scenery to soak in the fresh air too!
I was in Chicago too the 26th-28th! Thanks for hitting me up!!!
Gotta love Chi-town!!! π
Great stuff! Did you know that hancock Observatory had changed their website to http://www.360chicago.com? Kindly adjust it for better direction.
It’s a great place and glass floor was my favorite.
That’s right. Was just up-top that building a couple of weeks ago checking out the Tilit! Good stuff. π Thanks for the tip!
