Timeout

I took this shot last summer.  I was walking along Michigan Avenue and came across this monarch butterfly.  It was floating around on the breeze and occasionally landing on the blooms of various flowers growing in the sidewalk planters.  I stopped and enjoyed a few moments of it’s playful antics, took this photo, and continued on my way.  This just reminded me of the value of flowers along our city’s busy streets and pedestrian walkways.  It is such a privilege to be able to step aside from the daily bustle and take a reprieve every now and again.  This was just that.   Thanks Chicago.
