It was a chilly, rather brisk walk this morning. When we left the house at 7:20 AM, it was very dark. Within 15 minutes the sun was beginning to shine over the pond at Lincoln Park.

As we walked down the sidewalk past the Government Center, heading toward the intersection of Shroyer Road in Lincoln Park Boulevard, I suddenly became aware of bright lights coming from behind. With some of the craziness I had experienced with drivers last week, I figured one was barreling down the sidewalk behind us.

To my delight, I turned to see the sun blasting away it’s brilliance in the V-shaped opening of trees on the eastern lane of Lincoln Park Boulevard.

The golden rays, which have been absent since last Thursday, were quite a welcome sight. While dark rain clouds moved in from the west, rather rapidly, I wondered which would win this particular battle.

Sadly, the rain clouds began shrouding the gorgeous glow. However, I know the sun shall return within a few days.
