The Lake

In this great city by the great lake one sees amazing, beautiful, unbelievable, and unique things almost every day.

Yesterday evening, when driving home from Hyde Park, I was at Grant Park at about 5:05 pm (CST) when I looked out over the water and saw the moon rising from the depths and, at this point, the full orb was just sitting on the dark blue black water, blazing in a brilliant orange against a dark blue sky. It just was a spectacular sight. Within two to three minutes it lifted itself above the mighty lake and continued on its evening's journey. It climbed into the light cloud cover and was at least partially covered as it climbed higher and higher.

Mother Nature sure can give us a thrill if we just pay attention.

Take care.
