“The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.” - John Muir

My absolute favorite time of year in Chicago has officially begun! 🤍⭐️🤍 (we visited 63rd Street Beach on Saturday, 4/11, looking for piping plovers but only saw lots of fishermen)

During our visit to the Pullman National Historical Park we got a delicious coffee and pastry at the Pullman Club Coffee House. It’s inside a beautiful mansion from the period, and I found one of my book covers on the shelf there! Always incredible to see my work in the wild

Book titled “The Chicago River - a natural and unnatural history” is seen on a polished wooden table, inside a lushly appointed room. The cover shows two photos, one of a river choked by weeds, the other of the Chicago river in the early 20th century, packed with industrial development.

Picture of me smiling as I hold my book and point to it. I’m a bald white guy with reddish brown and gray beard and glasses. I’m wearing a red zip sweater with white stripes iPhone side. Behind me is a packed wooden bookshelf and a framed poster on a green wall. The poster says Pullman and shows a Victorian factory with clock tower

… industrial innovation, urban planning and design, and the American labor and civil rights movements. The Pullman Strike and Boycott of 1894, and the establishment of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1925, are watershed moments in American labor history.

Visited Pullman yesterday. Was blown away. From their website: “The park tells the story of America's first planned model industrial community, the sleeping car magnate who created it, and the workers who lived there. The park is significant for its influence on railroad transportation, …

LOL. This puzzle was purchased at The Morton Arboretum Store. You can save 10% on everything at the store with your Arbo membership, but I am sure you know this 😁

How great that you are a member! Be sure to make an appointment before you head over there (all the info is on the Arboretum’s website). You will not regret a visit to the Herbarium 😊

Bees 🐝

$This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!$

Really, really enjoyed putting together the exquisite “Emergence” by Erin E. Hunter puzzle. From the box: “The plants depicted are larval food sources for the 20 moth species flying about …”. It was such a treat to assemble!! 🥰🧩💕

Agreed. It’s my husband’s work. I got to have some fun taking videos of it before it left us (music by Nicole Miglis). Also agree about Blackstar!! 🖤

Been thinking about this painting since you posted it. It is beautiful and haunting. Is the figure someone who has passed away?
