Five Shots Two Months One Pond

Been taking pictures from the same spot of North Pond in Lincoln Park off of Fullerton in Chicago. Here are the first five shots so far, covering the middle of March to the middle of May: Post Winter > Spring. Though the May shot from yesterday is borderline Summer, do I dare: Sprimmer? Summing? weak.

Warm Spring Strong Winds

Took my 3rd ride yesterday, Wednesday, March 10th, around 3:30pm. The first real nice day out here in Chicago: sixty-four degrees and sunny. Rained all morning but around two o'clock the sun broke through and hung out for the rest of the day.

Got to the Lake Shore Drive bike and running path for the first time this year. Got on at Addison and took it South to Fullerton and Lincoln Park Zoo. Lots of people out and lots of visible smiles, a general excitement just to be outside, the lake winds a reminder of the summer to come. 

Here is a rough sketch of the path I took:

My bike needs a lot of work. The spokes are completely rusted on both wheels, the wheels don't run straight, the front brakes don't work, the back brakes are extremely loud, and the gears don't change at all. Stuck on 2/6. I'll get some pictures up soon.

Here are a couple twitpics from the ride:
