Nature in my Neighborhood

I live 1/2 block from the Chicago River. I have a back room where my washer & dryer (and pantry) is. The windows face the deck. I went in to do a load of laundry and there was a morning dove on the railing. I ran back to get my camera, but had to shoot through and dirty window and screen.

Then I took Charlie for a walk. I have always loved trees and they look like sculptures right now. I took some photos of the ones I thought looked magnificent. Lastly there is one photo of the prairie grasses, which will be burned off in a few weeks to allow for new.
