From Chicago...

We went to the Art Institute of Chicago last Wednesday. What an amazing place! The bronze lions flanking the entry are just about as wonderful as the art inside.

I wondered about people taking photos of the art... and then I found myself snapping a few photos. It was allowed, I wasn't breaking any rules. I bought a postcard of this Van Gogh, but I'm glad I have the photo too. It's different in its frame.
I'm also happy to have this detail shot of one of Monet's waterlilies. That man could do amazing things with splotches of paint.Dots have always been good...

I love Chicago and the lions are indeed one of my most favorite icons...along with Buckingham fountain! Have safe trip.
