Blink and You Missed It

It snowed on Thursday.  If you blinked, you missed it.  A few minutes later the sun came out; then another snow shower; then the sun came out again.

I got confused!  I wasn't sure if it was a sign that Winter was coming or if it meant that today was the start of Baseball Season ;)

Ugh!

This is not a current photo at all. It was taken last August. It's just that it was gray and cloudy on Tuesday. And it was gray and cloudy and murky on Wednesday. And it's gray and cloudy and murky and snowy today.

So to combat all this gray, it's a blue water sunny day here at Daily Chicago Photo.

52 DAYS UNTIL SPRING!!!!

Ready for Summer

We were checking out the nature preserve at the South Shore Cultural Center on Sunday. The lifeguard was walking the beach but his boat was ready just in case. It looks warm, right? Well, actually it was pretty warm in the South Shore neighborhood. Definitely T-Shirt and shorts weather. However, by the time we got into the downtown area - just about 10 miles away as the crow flies - it was in the 60s. Definitely sweater and jeans weather.

Don't you love Spring?

The Virtual Waiting Room

Cubs tickets go on sale today. Always a sign that Spring is on the way. (Of course, there was that time that the Cubs' Home Opener was called due to snow, but that's beside the point.) This picture is for all of us poor Cubs Fans who sit in the Chicago Cubs Virtual Waiting Room all day, always stay through the last inning, always throw the ball back, and always wait 'til next year.
