A few weekends ago, my husband and I spent two days in Chicago for a mini anniversary celebration. Chicago is just a couple hours on a train away for us, but we haven't really ever taken advantage of it.

Although it was a bit chilly, we enjoyed wandering the city streets and taking in the sights & sounds.

I have always been quite intrigued by lines and reflections in photographs. Chicago was perfect for this!

This image was among the many "reflection" images I made on that Saturday. The clear sunny day lent itself well to the poppy blues and colors captured here on this reflective surface of the building.
