The cold frozen ice sheet of winter is slowly lifting here in Chicago. As stated on the radio "this week will be unseasonably warm" as in high 50's and sunny!!
I am told by many native Chicagoians "not to get used to this!! it can turn on you quickly" so...
We TOTALLY took advantage of this unseasonable event by rushing out to the lake's sunny beaches to one of the area's most popular dog parks.
It was still cold but oooo! that sunshine felt like warm honey on our pale dry faces.

And the dog.
He typically has a case of "doggie ADD" meaning he does not play with just one dog, or in just one area, he is all over the entire dog park the entire time... but on this dog park day, his usual non-stop wondering that displays itself as consistent jogging looked more like sprints.
He has been inside for TOO long!!

This beach is just north of the city.

Miles, post-seagull ambush.

This is a marina near the dog park. We were admiring the color of the water... until we noticed there is still ICE in the water!!
Chunks and chunks of it!!

The city!!
