Early Winter, Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire, United States, 2017

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

~ Lewis Carroll

Chicago Cityscape and Architecture, Chicago, Illinois, 2017

If you are in the Windy City, do not miss the Chicago Architecture Foundation tours, particularly their Chicago River and early skyscraper tours. Even if you are not an architecture aficionado, I highly recommend CAF, as well as just taking time to wander and take in the details.

Anti-Trump Protests, Chicago, Illinois November 4, 2017

Anti-Trump Protests, Chicago, Illinois November 4, 2017

I stumbled upon a # Nov4ItBegins anti-Trump protest, when I was walking back to my Chicago hotel.

What I witnessed was a very peaceful protest, but I was amazed by the heavy police presence.
