It was a beautiful last morning walk of 2024. The clouds cleared away to reveal a beautiful sunrise.
Good-bye 2024! It was fun.

I watched Joe's Quilt Freedom Workshop this morning.
And while I did, I worked on my Maybe.
I made the Y.
The rains have come, bringing their friend the wind. And the colors are spectacular!
I've been taking Jelly's portrait on her birthday every year in the same place in Lincoln Park.
But, unfortunately, they've torn down the wall I would place her on.
So, we found a different place in the park.

The Danish artist, Thomas Dambo, has installed one of his trolls in Lincoln Park. We've been watching the construction process over the past week.
Today we walked down to the beach (along with hundreds of fisherpeople).
This is Bruuniden, playing her flute in homage to the Orcas. She is wearing jewelry of shells and tree bark, made by local artist John 'Coyote' Halliday.
Spotted on my morning walk in Lincoln Park this morning.
Today's prompt for #30daysketchbookchallenge is "Foliage".
I took this photo in Lincoln Park during our morning walk. I tried Brenda Swenson's method of negative painting. I just don't get it - well, I get it, but I have a hard time actually doing it so it looks right.
Here's Day 2 of the 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge. Today's prompt was 'Sweets & Treats".
I got a mocha at Starbucks for a sweet and found this image of a Cupcake Royale cupcake to pretend it was in front of it.
We've still been going for our morning walks in Lincoln Park before I head downtown for Jury Duty, but we get Fridays off, so it was a more relaxed (and beautiful) walk this morning.
Today is Jelly's seventh birthday. We stopped at our regular spot for her annual birthday picture in Lincoln Park. I'm just getting back to taking walks in the park since my knee surgery. I'm walking pretty slow, Jelly gets frustrated with me.
The clouds blew away, the sun came out and we went for a walk in Lincoln Park this morrning.
It was very windy though, but beautiful.
We finally got out of the house and made it down to Lincoln Park for a snowy walk in the park. The snow is about 5-6" deep, dry but crunchy. It's cold, too!
I made it a short walk because it was too cold and I was worried about slipping and falling - even though it wasn't really slippery.
Jelly wore her little coat and ran around and looked to be having fun.
There's a little tree that people put Christmas ornaments on every year. I wanted to see it with snow on the ground. That didn't happen before Christmas, but it finally did (the day after).
As the autumn colors of oranges, yellows and golds decline, the winter's russets, browns and reds emerge.
