you have to click on this picture to see it well. by chance the tree lined up and mister and the smiley kite all came together. not that i didn't try for chance, but chance favors me at times. 
so here we are in harold washington park. speaking of harold, it's mlk day tomorrow and harold was the person who made it a holiday here. i wasn't here when he was here. i was in canada and heard. by the time i got here he was dead. it seems funny but we couldn't get here yesterday. the wind blew us away. it's super cold and mister was chewing the live bark off the roots like deer do midwinter when the snow covers the ground and there's precious little to eat.
