An explanation for my blogosphere absence:
...we went to Chicago for the weekend!
We attended the lovely wedding of a very dear, old friend. I just adore the colors the bride picked out -- a deep teal, and a sunny yellow!
It was a beautiful occasion, and we are so happy for the both of them.
We got our groove on....
...and then had a lovely stroll around the city.
Millenium Park had a lot of cool things I'd never seen before. My favorites were the 'Crown Fountain' by Jaume Plensa (above).....
.....and the 'bean' sculpture by Anish Kapoor. (No one calls it by it's real name, 'Cloud Gate.' It's just referred to as 'the bean.')
I call this one 'self portrait.'
{ to the happy couple! }
