Back in Step

Finally, the weather broke and Ash and I got out for a walk today. I was so excited I almost didn't know where to start. I thought about looking at the amazing buildings downtown. Or checking out the park district. I had more fun though just looking for randomness that happens when everyone is out on a beautiful day.

This old cash register seen on this flat bed truck for instance.

Or Senor Taco! Seriously, I want him to be my mascot!

Or this reminder that amidst all the craziness, there is still an element of peace.

I love this rock at the edge of downtown. It looks so formal and then there's the pretzel in the corner that reminds us we are still Pretzel City.

This was actually my favorite thing from the walk today. A building came down in downtown recently. I was amazed to see some bits of wallpaper stuck to the building. I couldn't help, but think how long they have been there and really how lovely the pattern along the top is. There is hidden beauty even underneath the most broken down facade.

I love walking just as much as these bears love pizza!
