A lovely springtime morning in Chicago's Riis Park. Chicago Illinois USA. April 2007.

Good morning everyone!
Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
Yes folks, it's Springtime in Chicago again, and I personally am enjoyong every minute of it.
Being from the midwest, I love having those four seasons of the year, some more than others.
Springtime, has really became My favorite time of the year.
I took this lovely morning photo on location, at Riis Park on Chicago's northwest side. The natural beauty I had seen looking south from west Wrightwood Avenue, was just too good to pass up on My way to work that day.

Two musical lyric quotes inspired My immagination that morning, via oldies radio 94.7 FM.

"It's a beau-ti-ful mor-ning. I think I'll go out-side for awhile. And Just smile" -The Rascals.

"I've got pie -ces of A-pril. I keep them in a mem-o-ry bouqut.
I've got pie-ces of A-pril. But it's a morning in May. -Three Dog Night.

Hi Eddie,

This is a beautiful photo of Riis Park! I was wondering if you might give me permission to use it as the venue photo for Riis Park on Famplosion.com, a website dedicated to organizing events and venues for families. The Chicago Park District does not have a photo of Riis Park, and I would really love to be able to post one. Please let me know if this would be ok with you. My email address is brandi.mcnally@famplosion.com (please do not post this on your blog if possible!).

Thanks!
B.
