It was a SUNny-day. Heat pierced through my sunscreen, epidermis, dermis, hypodermis and melt my fat.

See the Lions? Aged 122 years; by Edward Kemeys
Currently owned by Chicago Art Institute
The lions act as the guardians for the Art Institute building.
The south lion (closer to me) is "attracted by something in distance which he is closely watching & the north lion has his back up, and is ready for a roar and a spring." (Kemeys, 1894).
[I will take a closer picture of them!]

Looking into My Dreams, Awilda (39 ft), by Jaume Plensa
"She is real...a young girl about 9 years old from Dominican Republic and came to Spain with her mother...The eyes are closed because we keep beauty inside ourselves, and one day we all need to look inside" (Plensa, 2014).
This statue will only be here till December 2015. |

Playground
Took the tallest one, the climbing was a little challenging, reminds me of IKEA loft bed's ladder/stairs
Sliding down was quite scary exciting & my body hit left and right when I reached the spiral point  |

And this one? I had to manually slid myself down
awkward moment when parents were starring at you |

Chicago Yacht Club

| Parking dock (sunset mode) |
Watching geese swimming towards us, hoping to get lucky food;
then swimming away
disappointed-ly angrily
Took the following pictures as according to the numbering
1. "Ohmy look at my face without make-up!"
2. "Wait, I sense something...someone is watching"
3. *Shocked* "Dang it, paparazzi!"
4. *Swims away* - apply make up
And make a huge "comeback" + best angle!
 |
| The "Paparazzi" |
From the dock, we talk about our dreams and hopes....
and we know everything will be fine.
