Here Comes the Sun!

A special springtime edition of Tuesday Twenty Pictures

Who among us doesn’t love a visit to the beach??

Of course, in Chicago, the arrival of warmth is a blessed event, the lake a place for sunny-day pilgrimage. And, in my household, takeout taco night, oft-times with posse in tow. Hereforth, relics from the sacred rite.

Some good ol’ fashioned gorgeousness…

Folks having frolicksome fun…

(I’ll never forget this strange little dude from the Fourth of July nine years ago. More surreal than a scene from Bad Santa. Looked way too old for a diaper, seemed to not be attached to any adult, and kept on walking by holding random objects snug to his chest, comme ça.)

Dogs, too…

(Those panorama shots can come out strange. The blob in the center? Figure it out and you win a Kewpie doll. And the missing foot of the female to its right predates such AI-enabled photo-amputations by several years.)

Chillaxitude…

Self-portraits…

Mrs. Rickpedia in effect…

SEE YOU ON THE SAND!!
