Awesome

These are photos from the sunset tonight. Totally awesome.

Long overdue

This morning on my way to school I saw this long-overdue sight:


They're finally repairing the crumbling beams holding up the train tracks. I blogged about this particular underpass on Morgan last year. The underpasses at Halsted and Racine are equally as bad, and I think they're getting repaired too.

Predation in the city

I saw the remains of this yellow-shafted flicker on the UIC campus along Taylor Street yesterday. I wonder what kind of animal ate it?

Peak color

Just a few days ago I was skeptical that we'd get any good tree color this year, but the change from cold and yucky to warm and sunny seems to have brought out the best in the trees.

It looks like last year the colors came later in the fall, based on my photos from last year.
