Outside the John Hancock Building on Sunday morning. I had never seen a flower like this--two colors of flowers on the same stem. I thought it was very lovely.


The Welcome sign at the John Hancock Observatory entrance.
In different languages....The man on duty could not tell us what the 2nd one on the left was.













Lake Shore Drive, closed from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. NO CARS...Just thousands and thousands of bicyclists.


I tried to zoom in as best my camera would, It was so neat to see so many bikes. Going both ways.



Bud pretended to be washing the windows.


I know people told us the Sears Tower was taller, but we had the John Hancock Observatory all to ourselves on Sunday morning. We loved it.

Beautiful flower! I love the picture of Bud "washing" the windows. Maybe John and I need to try that biking someday although I usually like to bike in less crowds.

Is that an every Sunday thing or just the Sunday you were there for the bikes on Lake Shore? Seems wierd. I too liked the pic of dad washing the window. Looks like a natural.
