My original intent today was to roam Millenium Park for things that stand out. There's so many of them in MP. The picture above is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This is the money shot that everyone wanted. It's the ultimate Chicago tourist picture.
The other thing that stands out near Millenium Park is one of Mayor Daley's legacies--flower boxes on Michigan Avenue. Today they were full of spring flowers. Michigan Avenue is a lot brighter than it used to be.
There's also a lot of tulips in Millenium Park this time of year. I really don't know if the bulbs in the planters are the kind they leave there all year round or not.
Actually, I'll bet they remove the bulbs and plant something else in the flower boxes just so that not one steals them.
But I think this photo was my favorite from today. Chicago hasn't always been a garden spot, that's for sure. But I think it will be eventually if some folks have their way.

I like the last one best too. The bright tulips against the buildings in the background are an interesting juxtaposition (ah, the $64,000 word) :D
