East 1/2 Riverwalk, DuSable Harbor, Daley and Millenium Parks - MyShadowProductions #175

Howdy All !!

Seems like May and June are a busy time of year for MyShadow followers?

Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, some Birthdays (not mine:) and the joys of Spring and Summer :) Oh, and maybe Cicadas depending on where you live :)

This LINK from the Chicago Field Museum broadly explains what is happening this year.

Here is a Cicada (Brood XIII I think) I saw over the weekend (not in Aurora):

HEAR some Cicadas in this short video :)

Before starting on the “regular” blog stuff, I learned a new vegetable last week at the Food Pantry:

We only had a couple of “bunches” of the Huauzontle (Aztec Broccoli) so they went fast, I hope to see some at the local SuperMercado so I can try it :)

Ok, now the “regular” blog stuff.

On Sunday June 9, 2024 I made my way back to The Windy City to complete my tour of the Chicago Riverwalk and then the DuSable Harbor, a section of the Lakefront Trail, Maggie C Daley Park, Millenium Park and a walk back to Union Station including sections of Randolph St and Wacker Dr.

On the couple of accessible docks I saw some interesting boat names. I imagine a view on all the docks would yield a wide array of “names” to analyze, ponder, laugh  or just shake your head :) Here are a few that I saw:

Life’s a Dance, Sometimes You Lead, Sometimes You Follow

      MARTINIS & BIKINIS III (didn’t see either :)    And More Stuff

 

BEASTIE BUOYS

Iset (I set? A volleyball player? Or I set sail?)

                    WIND DANCER       FRIEND SHIP

                                The Big Smooth

I have heard that the two happiest days in the life of a boat owner are the first day on the water and the day the boat is sold :) Hopefully that is not true :)

Looks like the rolled up Floating Pads are popular, who knew? :)

It is time for another “Aurora Street/Sidewalk Art”, edition #4, View it Here.

Where to next? I can’t tell you but I already made the “day trip”, just waiting for the pictures to be developed :) (remember those days? Should I get glossy or matte? Should I get doubles?:)

Here are a few “Teaser Photos”.

Have a GREAT WEEK wherever you are !!
