. . . as evidenced by this photo I took on my stroll home.
It’s spring in Chicago

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Ah, refreshing!
And a lovely photo it is too. 🙂
That is just beautiful! That pink tree is just gorgeous, besides the other colors.
Absolutely beautiful – thanks!
Beautiful Redbud in the background!

I only see Chicago on Chicago PD and it’s bleak! Nice to see there’s another side to it.
Lovely layering. The Redbud tree has an unusual and delightful way of producing flower buds even from the tough bark of the upper trunk and the limbs. Mine is in bud and will open soon. It’s magnificent in full Springtime regalia.
Lovely photo and interesting crenelation on the building behind. Is this on campus? Would be interested in what that building is…
Yes, it’s part of what was the old gymnasium, which is being renovated as another type of building.
I see, thanks for the added info.
So 5 minutes from now it’ll be summer.
The best flowering trees in Hyde Park Chicago right now: the redbuds (but just past their prime- the pink/purple one in Jerry’s picture) and apple trees! The Cherry Blossoms fizzled this year, unfortunately.
Lovely!
